If you lost fluid, you have to fix the leak first.
Then you can bleed it.
Don't cut corners on brakes.
Fix it or park it.

Vert in Vegas is right. If your brakes aren't working properly then fix it. If you can't diagnos a brake problem on your own it makes me wonder if you can actually fix it. Stainless steel lines are nice but will that fix the leak? If not then skip them for now. A properly functioning brake system will have a good feeling pedal to start with no matter what type of lines(factory or stainless) are on it.
