I haven't checked it yet (the weather got cold again, so Violet's been in the garage again). I'm pretty sure there's no leak, as everything was fine all last summer, and I rode to work every day for three straight months. And, there were no problems. Unless it's a REALLY, REALLY slow leak that isn't dripping on the floor :)
I'll probably bleed them anyhow. I'm not sure how old the fluid is, and I tend to bleed my car's brakes once a year anyhow (may as well do them all at once). Thanks!
