Default Clutch Fluid Everywhere

I have 2 problems with the hydraulic clutch. 1st and worst is I have fluid everywhere. I had checked all the connection prior to installing the engine because even back then my confidence in BDR was fading. Some were loose but most were not. I though that I had everything tight but I am still getting leakage somewhere. I have been taking short runs and by the time I get home there is fluid all over the engine compartment, smoking from the headers, dripping on the ground and all over my windshield. I have not put the hood on yet in case you are wondering how it got on the windshield. I have got to get this stopped before I miss a spot and it spots my paint. Any clues???

2nd problem is (related to the 1st?) I have my hydraulic slave at the clutch are installed with the bleed pointing down because that was the only way it would fit. Anybody got an answer for this one???

Reg, Tony...please chime in with any help you may have. London show is just 10 days away. I could take missing the event a lot easier if these were problems I created.
