    Do you mean there's brake fluid leaking out of the caliper?

      yeah make sure your not leaking . Then you need to bleed the brakes and make sure you dont have any air in there. even if there is a tiny bubble of air in the lines it can be compressed and can absorb the hydraulic force of the brake lever being squeezed.
      Please, Just go home, relax, and have a think or two... hell... have as many as you can handle! It'll do all of us some good.

        It could be pure coincidence, but I wouldn't have left until the shop fixed anything they might have done to stuff your brakes.

          Bring it back and tell them to fix them.

            I probably wouldn't ride that thing anywhere if my front brakes weren't working. I wouldn't care so much if it were the rear brakes. Like someone said before, I would check for a leak and then do a quick bleed job to make sure there is only fluid in your lines.
