Possible Air In My Brakes...............Please Help w 98 Honda Civic

I was trying to change my brake pads on my 98 Honda Civic, and I accidently unscrewed my brake line or something and brake fluid started to leak out. Does that mean air got into my brakes or do I just need brake fluid. My brakes do not work what so ever right now. My brake fluid isn't empty but is low.

Thanks

you probably did get a little bit of air in there... fill the MC back up and bleed the brakes... (If you need to know how to do this, search, there was just a topic on it)

I just changed the entire hub assembly, etc...

Just add fluid, bleed brakes. If you had the brake line out for a while, you may want to bleed them all just to be on the safe side.
