What could cause bleeding behind the eye?

Several things: can cause bleeding outside of trauma, subconjunctival hemorrhage, complications of diabetic retinopathy, high blood pressure, glaucoma. It's actually bleeding in the eye.

Do you mean back?: The most common bleeding in the back of the eye (at the retina) is due to diabetes and vascular anomalies. This can be more likely if blood thinners are in the mix. Less common conditions are parasitic infections and some inherited conditions. Trauma of course is also common. If you truly mean 'behind' the eye ball, then this rare event is usually traumatic or do to blood vessel disease.
