I would really like to try to help you out, but we are going to need more/better information.

Is your hydraulic system leaking? Or did the fluid only come out when you opened the bleed valve?

If you had someone press the clutch pedal while opening the bleeder screw and then release the pedal before closing the bleeder screw, air will enter the hydraulic system; this will make matters worse.

Here's how to bleed the system:Bleed only one unit at a time; do the clutch slave cylinder first then dothe piping connector. Get someone to operate the clutch pedal while you dothe bleeding.

1 - Have someone pump the pedal several times then hold the pedal down.2 - With the pedal depressed, open the bleeder valve to release air.3 - Close bleeder valve; now the other person can release the pedal.

You may have to repeat steps 1 thru 3 several times to purge all the air.Repeat steps 1 thru 3 for the piping connector.While you're doing the bleeding, make sure to keep the reservoir full.
