Broke my brakes?

I was riding in Dalby Forest a few weeks back and went over the handle bars and did some serious damage to my elbow and knees.
When I got up I noticed that the piston on my front brake lever had popped out of its rubber housing.
The brakes are Formula ORO K18 and the metal piston popped out, I pushed the piston back in and now the front brake is very keen and makes a strange noise when I pull the lever and it also seems like the lever has moved a bit closer to the handlebars.
Should I take it back to the shop and see if they can fix it or would I be able to do it myself?
I dont really know what to do myself so any help would be seriously appreciated.
Cheers, Sean.

try using the reach adjust screw.
they are meant to pop out."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."
