It sounds like you might have blown the wheel cylinders. Or, you could just have air in the lines.

bleed the brakes you got air in the system when you leaked fluid check for any leaks before you bleed them

Yeah it sounds like you got air into the system. When you bleed the brakes start with the wheel farthest away from the master cylinder.

If you hit the brakes with the drums off then it should have blown the cylinders that push the pads up against the drum, you need to fix this first or it will keep leaking fluid, i did this on my 89 cavalier because i'm an idiot, so since the cylinders were 10 years old anyway i just bought new ones, you can also buy rebuild kits, but you should be able to put it back together and bleed the brakes.
