We replaced the battery about 2 months ago after it needing to be jump started every other day. I am still having same issue and daily. Had it to mechanic but can't locate a problem. However the mechanic noticed the air conditioning wasn't working so he fix the compressor. He thought that may have been problem. We drove it an hour home it was fine. Next morning it needed to be jumped. Once we jumped it had started leaking and making a loud noise.

Welcome to 2CarPros.

The idea that the battery is being drained really doesn't seem to be related to a fluid. However, were you able to identify the type of fluid that was leaking? Also, if you can, take a look through this link. It explains how to check for an electrical draw.

Let me know what fluid was identified and if the link helps.
