Don't panic just yet clean out the reservoir put new brake fluid in only fill in about an inch and a half from the bottom. I think your reservoir was over filled. Once you press the brake pedal a few times you depressurize the system so the fluid that was in the motor comes up to the reservoir. Once you fill it up and turn the car on. It might suck some fluid down have some brake fluid ready if it does.

Do the proper level check and pump the brake pedal 10-13 times with key off and THEN check the fluid level. It'll suck a bunch down when you turn the key on but that is the proper level of operation. There isn't much in the pass side of the res when it's on and primed. It's been awhile since I had to maintain a powermaster though.
