I just changed all 4 pads and by accident on the front passenger side i loosened a bolt and some fluid came out. Now after replacing all the pads the brake pedal feels really spongy and has to go almost all the way to the floor.

Did i get air in the lines and now have to bleed them....or maybe i didn't tighten the bolt enough?

Anyone have advice.

ok i am going to buy those, do you think its ok to drive the car? I mean do the brakes still work good, i really haven't gone anywhere yet, the pedal just needed to be pushed farther down.

Its ok, but really not that safe. Bleed them ASAP but don't loose sleep over it. It doesn't take long though. I flushed and bled my brakes yesterday :)
