Need help replacing front break pads 03' P5

well, yesterday I showered @ the gym after I worked out before work, so that wasn't a problem.
Today... will probably be here after work lol.
I actually managed to get Ga. Natural Gas to get me an earlier appointment. 4 phone calls later. Saturday b/w 12 and 4. Yay! I'll have heat! And hot water! And be able to wash my dishes! And cook! NO WAI!
 
1. The pistons are easier to compress if you open the bleeder screw
2. If your fluid is dirty it would most be dirty on the line before the caliper. If you want to force that through your HCU (pretty thats the right acronymn) abs module then be my guess.
 
Anyone know where to get the rubber seal that the piston goes into? Mine is torn. Dealer wants $70 for a "kit" which is just a bag of rubber seals & boots.
 
i thought it ws a good idea to remove the resevior lid anytime messing w/ the brakes....not necessary?

reservoirs lid for sure. You don't need to open the bleeder screws tho.

OK so I'm a total moron and missed this step. After I was done putting my calipers back together I found a puddle of brake fluid under my car. I tried to figure out where the fluid was coming from, but I couldn't see the source. My guess is that it's coming from the brake master, since I think I saw fluid collecting on the hardlines under the master.

The reservoir is still full. I'm guessing because the dealer topped off the reservoir when I was getting service done, and I pushed out the excess with the C-clamp.

I had someone on the pedal, with the engine off and on, but didn't see where the leak was coming from.

I cautiously took my car slowly around the block to see how the brakes felt, and they seem to bite harder than I feel on the pedals.

I put newspaper underneath my car and fluid is still slowly dripping out.

I need some help diagnosing this problem.
