Take it to a shop and have them find and fix the leak.
Its a bad idea to attempt to drive it with leaking brake fluid. Even if you keep topping it off, the system works on hydraulic pressure, a leak can lower the pressure and introduce air into the system - translation: it wont work.
Since you just had your pads and rotor replaced, there is a good chance there is a crack in the line from them bending the lines around when they installed the new stuff. Not saying the shop caused the damage, the hoses could be old / brittle and moving them around just sped up the process.
