To rule out whether or not its leaking, add brake fluid, pump the pedal, and see if it leaks by looking on the ground and in your engine bay.

Have your tried pumping the brakes quickly to see if that would re pressurize your system?

well if its not losing fluid, it could have some air in the lines, or the mechanic may have just F'd up your brakes and put them on wrong or something.

Did the mechanic by chance refer to the bolts on the brakes as "nubby things" lol

You may also have a bad brake master. Did he bleed the brake from the right rear to left front? This will insure that all the air is out of the system.
Thanks Robert

I'd hazard a guess that you need to bench bleed your master.
