Default Damaged ABS wire = Decrease in Brake Fluid?

hey guys.. i just notice something about my 2001 gs300... i just dropped my car and accidentally ripped one side of my abs wire.. due to that my vsc, vsc off, and abs lights are all on..i have been driving like this for a while already and it seems to be fine, just that my abs doesnt kick in...anyways, i notice a decrease in brake fluid when i check the reservoir..about a quarter was missing.. so i poured in new brake fluid to fill it up to the MAX line but in 2 days it would leaked back to where it was 2 days ago.... i would see brake fluid under my car.. the leak would stop when it hits about 3/4 of the reservior...ive been driving for about a month now and nothing leaks ... could it be the damage from the abs wire that affected the capacity of brake fluid in the brake fluid reservoir?

I would check all brake hoses for leaks and go get a new abs wire!
