I was replacing my drum brakes earlier. The right side of the car went good and as I was doing the left side a piece of the hydraulic for the shoes popped off and some (dot 3 I assume) flowed out. Here's some pictures. Soo what exactly do I do? Does it just pop back in? or did I break something :(?

Pops right back in, you of course will need to bleed the brakes after. The part that popped out is the piston from the wheel cylinder, There is a bleeder valve on the back side of it.
