I was working on installing cobra brakes on the front of my 93gt and got near the end and found out I did not have the correct length banjo bolts. I left it setting overnight with the brake lines tied up as high as I could get them so they would stop pouring fluid out (by the way is this normal for the fluid to drip out fastly). Came back today and the fluid was so low in the m/c reservoir that it could not be seen but I am unsure if it all ran out. As soon as I seen it, I poured more fluid in because I did not want to have to remove m/c and bench bleed again!!!
Anyways, is there anyway to know if it got air in it from running low on fluid? I do NOT want to have to remove because of all the complex routing of the new lines when converting from 3 port to 2 port. Any help is appreciated.

Personally I would get the lines all hooked up at the calipers, pull the master and re-bench bleed it then bleed all 4 corners and you'll know that you have a good bleed/flush on the system.

Unfortunatly it is hard to tell if you got air in the master by letting it get low.....

If the fluid was that low chances are that there is air in the system. Because once it reaches a certain point air gets in. And if u siad u couldnt even see the fluid then u def. got air in there
