Default No brake pressure! help

Ok so i replaced all my pads this weekend on my 02 gt and i forgot those little slider things on the calipers so I took the calipers off again to put them in. As i was pulling the wheels off to do this i realize I have been leaking breakfluid all day. I did also replace the rear calipers when i replaced the pads. I had break pressure when i got home and there was still some break fluid in the reserve. TO try and solve the leaks i tightened the bleeder screw and the other thing that connects the lines to the caliper. I managed to strip a bleeder screw and replaced it. Now with everything put back together I have a very lose brake pedal.\
I did try and bleed the rear brakes but not very much fluid was coming out.
what should i do now?

if you lost fluid in the master cylinder, I would start by bleading there. Just have someone pump the pedal once and crack the lines at the master. Then just go around to each wheel making sure to keep the master full. It just sounds like you have alot of air in the lines from the leak.
