Sounds like you blew out the throwout bearing. If you have fluid coming out of the bottom of the casing, that's what it is.

^this or you just lost all of your fluid due to a line failure (if there was a line failure of any sort it would more than likely happen where distribution block meets the clutch pipe). How does the brake pedal feel? Have you checked the fluid reservoir?

I'm glad that you've gotten such great feedback from the community so far, TurboMatt! I hope you're able to find out what's going on with your clutch tonight. As always, I'm here if you need anything.
Best,

yeah its the throw out bearing/slave cylinder. Is it weird that I just installed the throwout bearing and clutch barely a month ago and it already went bad?

You don't want to hear this, but we make 90% of our own problems. I don't exactly what could have gone wrong with the installation because I still have yet to try this, but something likely did. Either that, or the stock TOB couldn't handle the resistive pressure given by the pressure plate.

Either way, sorry about you bad luck. Now you have to pull it all back apart again. I'm hoping you didn't end up with fluid all over your clutch plate.
