On the resovoir cap for both F&R brakes are two minute holes. Niether of them I have taken any notice of as I thought they were part of the moulding, but now on the front brake this hole is now leaking, but it only leaks when I pull the brake. What it is leaking I dont know as I cant tell if it is water or brake fluid. The system has never been bled as I have not had them long.

sounds like the bleed hole

this is pretty normal, sometimes the brake system is slightly overfilled and when you start using the brakes the fluid overflows, should settle down soon...just wipe it off with a tissue and perhaps a sprinkle of water (this deactivates DOT fluid and stops it burning the painted finish)

what you do need to be worried about is if fluid starts leaking out of the split line between the resevoir cap and the lever body as this often means the resevoir diaphragm seal has failed
