brake issues?

So I jus got a new FC today and it seems like my brakes are really spongy...so i figures i just have to bleed the brakes but looking at the car more thoroughly i noticed some wet spots on the inner walls of my rear tires as well as some wet spot on the ground...now i'm guessing that its brake fluid because by the time i got home my reservoir was almost empty although i didnt check where it was to begin with...the guy who owned it change it to 4piston calipers in the rear, anyone know whats going on?

Replace the brake lines with some stainless steel.

4 pistons in the rear?? from what?

take the rear wheel off and find out what it's leaking from, and tighten it, if the hose is bad, replace them with Stainless Steel lines.
