Can you see where it comes from? Is it leaking from a line? I would suspect a faulty wheel cylinder.

I am not sure where it comes from. I took the tyre out and the inside was all wet. I dont think comes from a line.
Can I drive it to the nearest mechanic? Or I wont b able to break at all

The brakes will most likely lock up due to the fluid being on the rear brakes. You can drive extremely carefully and slowly, have someone follow you to the mechanic. Make sure you have plenty of brake fluid in the master cylinder first though
