Suddenly, breaking power came down very low,
I can push breaking pedal to the floor with very little resistence.I observed losing breaking fluid from rear right wheel.
What could be the problem and how to fix it?
Thanks.

If leaking from rear then either a wheel cylinder (drum brakes) or caliper (disc brakes).

Also check the steel lines to the rear for corrosion/leaks.

If wheel cylinder or caliper, you will have to replace and bleed brakes. If steel lines are corroded, the protion that is corroded will have to be replaced.
