Went for a ride yesterday, had a minor tumble but didn't notice any damage at the time. Last night when I unloaded the bike I noticed the front brake lever had no resistance and is leaking from the point shown in this picture.
Can anyone tell me how to fix this?
Thanks guys!

The picture is looking from in front of the bars and the leak is coming from a bolt going into the reservoir.

Take banjo bolts out and inspect housing and thread is ok. If everything is ok buy two new crush washers from local bike shop for a couple dollars and reassemble.

and then bleed your brakes.

Hopefully the lever itself isn't leaking as I think you need some sort of special tool to put the stop oil back in there.

be careful on the brakes once you've done it. It may be more serious ..
