Lets say i have 12 word seed and it can generate many addresses for bitcoin lets say i leaked my single private key of one of those addresses.

Is it possible for anyone to steal funds from other addresses? Or know the 12 word seed?

No. However, this is possible if you're using an unhardened derivation path and the master public key is also leaked. It would result in the master private key being derived from a combination of master public key as well as a child private key.

You won't know the 12 word seed even if you get the master private key but I imagine you won't really have any reason for that either.
