Don't drive till you fix it or plug off the damaged line. Repair may be easier than finding a new line.

Get a Haynes Repair Manual at the local Auto Zone or auto parts store in your area. It will troubleshoot and show you how to fix your vehicle. Also on the Auto Zone site has a section for vehicle maintenance
You put the fluid in and then you need to see where it is leaking out. Possiblity that a line broke who knows. But you have to find out where the leak is. Then by asking this questions, you will have to take it to the shop to get it fixed.
Depends on the mechanic. Ask around. It might run a minimum of $50 on up.

Somewhere in the copper tube line of your brake fluid was damaged. you need to check this thoroughly, else you're in the risk.

Sounds like a tear in the breakline. I've had a leak distant from the reservoir and wheel before. it can happen.

You have probably blown a brake line. Make sure you don't drive it because it can be pretty dangerous. Have it towed somewhere that can fix it.
