How much brake fluid leaked out? If this is ABS, the HCU (hydraulic control unit) mounted on the right side crossmember may have partially emptied and will need bleeding. Are the red 'BRAKE' and yellow 'ABS' warning lights on? Make sure that there are no leaks and try bleeding with a helper.
The only thing that would have changed from installing the P/S pump would have been the opening of the system and letting air in?
Bleeding the HCU can be tricky and there is an option on the DRB scan tool for bleeding the HCU, it electrically turns on the pump, but the bleed can be done manually. You will have to bleed all 4 brakes if the HCU emptied.

The rear parking brakes are completely separate from the regular hydraulic brakes. The only thing that would affect both would be the rear shoe adjustment or wear. They can be adjusted up closer to the drum/rotor with the star wheel through an access slot in the backing plate until the shoes just start to drag.
