Default Brake Pads and Lines

I have a question/concern... I dont know anything about brakes except how to change the pads.... but Heres my question/concern... When i was changing the front pads on my prelude.. The right side went fine... but on the left (driver) side When i was pushing the piston back in with a c-clamp... and i got it down to the point close to wear it needed to be.. Some fluid squirted out of the bottom of my car... i got in my car and kept pushing the brake pedal seeing if more would come out but none did... I was wondering if maybe they had like an over flow thing and since both my pistons were pushed back that the fluid went out the over flow.. or did i maybe break open a line and i should be concerned.... please post with any information ASAP!! im afraid to drive till i know.... Thank you

go check your brake fluid reserviour, most likely you pushed up all the fluid into the reserviour and it overfilled and came out.

that reserviour is near the driverside firewall.
