i have a 2002 mercury 150 it has been running rough and missing under load i found #5 cylinder bleeder line split and pumping out oil and fuel when its running i repaired the line and it seems to idle better on the muffs but cant water test until the weekend .my question is can this have caused my running problem or should i look deeper also can anyone tell me what the bleeder system does

Yes, you are. Check ALL of 'em on both ends. The "bleed" system removes what is refered to as "puddled" fuel from reeds at idle......
