How do you know if your brake line is leaking?
If you fill your brake fluid up (im assuming you know how to do this) then pump your brakes.

(on the ground or the actual wires might be wet.) If you are losing fluid but have no leak then it could possibly be leaking into the firewall. case-an-point if your losing fluid you have a leak.
How do you get the brake light to go off if your hand brake is not in service?
I had the same problem. There is a small part in the rear axel that needs to be replaced/reset. It is a sensor. I was told I could do it myself, but didn't want to mess anything up so I took it to the dealer. $45 later, no brake light on. Check your brake fluid reservoir. On some vehicles, if they leak fluid out, the parking brake light comes on as a warning.
