both new brake cylinders appear to be leaking. Are they broken or just leaking the last bit of seepage from being over stressed?

You pushed the plungers out. Now you have to push them back in, then remove the outer seals and wipe up the excess brake fluid. You don't want that fluid leaking down to contaminate the brake linings.
