Hello,
Can the big black thing be popped back on then if there are no leaks fill the car back up with DOT brake fluid and bleed the lines! Bleed until there is no sputtering of air and a steady strem from the bleeder valve on the caliper. Do this to each brake caliper that you are replacing.

Did the fluid come from the black thing you popped back in?
