can you prime the lines? Remove the line from the master cylinder and fill it with fluid.

It should not be leaking anywhere, sounds like you may have gotten a bad one.
When you get a new one on it just get it to where you can get it in gear and drive it. A couple of miles will do more than the 70 pumps. lol
