need help on brakes!

ok well today i found out one of my back lines was sprayin, i checked it and found that i had very little fluid. i still had brakes i just had to push them to the floor, well i got it home and replaced the back line on it, i bled it and added fluid but i still have to push it to the floor, it made it only a little better
? did i mess up the master cylender or something else major, and if i did how much am i looking to spend on a new one
what other brake system components may be messed up?

and is it ok to run it like this or will it damage something else too

Keep bleeding them. Chances are, you've got air somewhere in the middle.

YEP. Hes right. just keep bleeding them. Itll go back to normal as long as no other leaks are present.

i would bleed the whole system starting at the caliper farthest away from the master cylender and working your way to the drivers side front, good luck
