Might need to be bled sounds like you might of sucked air in the lines if the fluid was empty.

Master Cylinder bleeding back into the powerbooster, front to rear brake line or a caliper could be leaking. Just a few things I'd look at

If you say the brake fluid was empty that would suck air in the lines when pressing the pedal.

Check all your rubber lines may be cracked somewhere and sucking air.
