Remove the bleed system.

Check whether there is still air in the system by depressing the brake pedal with a force equivalent to normal braking.

The pedal stroke should not exceed 40 mm with the engine turned off and after the brake pedal has been depressed 3-4 times. Bleed again if the pedal stroke exceeds 40 mm.

Check the brake system for leakage.

Check the brake fluid level.

Clean up the spilled brake fluid.
