Re: no brakes

yes it could be leaking from where you filled it up, do you see any leaks around that area (called the master cylinder). It could also be the brake lines, follow them from the master cylinder to the firewall/back of the engine bay. You definitely have a hydraulic leak just track it down to which line or hose that's leaking. A bright flashlight would help, you'll see it leaking as brake fluid is oily.

Re: no brakes

Check the bleeders. Could be a simple fix if they are loose. Wipe up any extra dot & have a extra set of hands so someone can pump the brakes to help identify the leak.
