Brake Fluid Leak on 240 200

I replaced my rotors/calipers/master cylinder on an '87 240 wagon. Instead of buying the pressure bleeder I bought a small, maybe 2, gallon garden tank sprayer used to spray insecticide I guess. Looks exactly like the photos I've seen on site of other $40 Power Bleeders. Only catch was it doesn't have a pressure gauge on it. I think I may have given it a bit too much pressure though as I noticed br. fluid was leaking out from the bottom of the brake fluid reservoir on the new MC under pressure. I went ahead and finished the bleeding job and reservoir does seem to be retaining the Br. fluid as it's the same level the past 3 days. Am I going to have to replace the reservoir, the gasket on the reservoir or anything like that? If so will I have to rebleed the system? Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
