Default I need help PLEASE

I just bought my first corvette 1997 C5 it had some issues and we have worked most of them out including installing new 5.3 turbo. Took it to the dyno and it did great pulled numbers we never thought it would. But when I got into the car to pull it out no clutch at all. So after inspection slave cylinder was actually broken the sleeve in the cylinder sheered in half into two pieces. took the driveline out installed new slave. Bled everyting everything seemed fine. Drove a block no clutch at all.I mean no clutch at all. get home top fluid off and it all leaked out onto the floor. Took the inspection plate off and I for the life of me can not tell where it is coming from at all. there are a few drips behind the flywheel but not what appears to be the type of fluid drain I got it was going onto the floor as quick as we poured it. I can not tell where it is coming from other than it gets to the bottom of the bell housing at a very quick rate but you can not see where from at all. I thing the slave is ok it litterlly has on driven push on it. when I went to push in the clutch I could feel like it gave out and just poof. the clutch pedal feels as if thouhg it came undone or something I mean th4re is no friction at all it feels as if though it is free the master pin is still attached I am just at a loss. any and all help would be very appricated as I just dont have the phycial means to drop the rear end again and I have spent so much on this in the shop it just is one of those I am so deep in I either keep going or cut the loses I dont know what to do

do you have any pics?... the system is relatively simple so check it from the reservoir all the way to the slave and if it's leaking that bad Stevie Wonder ought to be able to see where it's coming from
