It wasn't the alternator......Now what???
If it is continually leaking, then you have an issue either at the lines or more likely at the calipers. One of the pistons may be losing a seal causing the fluid to leak. Not good. However, it could be to normal brake wear but it wouldn't go down that quickly. Be sure that when you change your brake pads that you open the bleeder valve BEFORE compressing the piston. Or you will push the fluid back into the ABS unit and could do some permanent damage... not to mention tear up your master cylinder.
You probably won't notice any drippings on the driveway. I is likely to happen under braking on the street. At that point, it will fling off the wheel when you are back up to speed. If you do rotate your tires, then just pop off the calipers to take a look at the piston seals.
On a drum, you'd easily see the leaks. But on a caliper for discs it will be more tricky from the outside. You may be lucky if you just take off the wheels.
Good luck.
