Can you see where it comes from? Is it leaking from a line? I would suspect a faulty wheel cylinder.

I am not sure where it comes from. I took the tyre out and the inside was all wet. I dont think comes from a line.

The brakes will most likely lock up due to the fluid being on the rear brakes. You can drive extremely carefully and slowly , have someone follow you to the mechanic. Make sure you have plenty of brake fluid in the master cylinder first though
