Brakes go to the floor, already put in 2 containers of brake fluid in the brake line compartment in the engine, left front and right front brakes are leaking fluid, and the brake light comes on.

I didn't look at ABS, where applicable, but, if it is leaking guess you don't have to worry about pressure on the system. Are you abs? Don't take any lines loose, if the abs system is pressurized

Just to be safe, press the brake pedal firmly about 25 times, before doing anything.

To add this this. If it's the metal line that is leaking, then you have to make it yourself. Nobody will have it pre-bent
