The resovoir is pretty easy to replace.
Air and brake systems is not good. Tape won't cut it, and from my experience, brakes are not something to be dodgey with..... Not to be rude, but if you were unsure on the answere to your 'air' question, you should take it to a mechanic to fix. good luck

Spongy / soft pedal, or depending on the amount of air in the system, no brakes at all..............
The air is also pretty easy to get out of the brake system, you would just need to bleed the lines...... eack brake caliper has a bleed nipple..... but, you MUST get the resovoir replaced first.
