NO PRESSURE

one of my brake lines came loose at the caliper and i was loosing brake fluid. and i tightend the line back on the caliper and noticed that after i tightend the line i had no pressure so i thought there was air in the line so i decided to bleed my brakes. but after bleeding the lines i still have no pressure for my brakes the peddle goes right to the floor and there is no fluid leaking anywhre. so could this be a problem with the master cylinder or the brake booster?

This is gonna sound condescending but did you rfill the brake fluids reservoir before you bled the brakes? After? If there's not enough fluid in the reservoir, it'll suck more air back into the lines.

Also, what order did you bleed the brakes in?

same thing happend to me when my LR drum brake cylinder leaked and my entire fluid drained out.

I must have blead the breaks like 6 times and used 2 40oz. bottles of fluid before I got the entire air out of the system.
