Default Clicking in engine

In my C4 I have a clicking in the front right of my engine occasionally and it will only stop if I press on my brakes just barely at all. Also my brakes drain all of its fluid daily and I'm wondering what it is and if they're related. Any suggestions? Thanks

Sound like brake retainer clip and a leak stop driving till you find the leak. I would look at the rubber brake lines. Many replace them with stainless steel.

Definitely don't drive it until you figure out where you are leaking fluid! losing all the brake fluid daily is a very major safety issue.
