Unhappy Newb Brake Pad Change, Now Brake Fluid Leaking

I think I attempted something out of my league. I changed the brake pads and now my front left brake is leaking out all of my fluid while pressing brake. I can feel pressure but after 2-3 slow pushes the pedal has no back force and fluid is shooting out of my caliper? or brake pad area? or ???? I checked fluid level, went below min mark, I filled again in hopes I did not get air in the lines.... Fat chance at this point I suppose. My friend left with all of his metric tools (I am a newb and have yet to buy a set) but coming in the morning to help again.

Obviously we are beginners but I hope you guys can help me out as I do not want to tow to a shop if at all possible.

Thanks
