The Dreaded 240D Clutch Bleed Gone Wrong

Howdy all. Wanted to preface this question by saying that Ive spent the past couple of hours looking over the forums for an answer to this particular problem, but no luck.

Was driving home the other day when the clutch started to get soft. By the end of the night, I couldnt get it into gear. Had to turn the car off, put it into gear, and go. The car would even start moving while I had the clutch pedal fully engaged.

Checked the steel line behind the pedals and was wet. Changed the Master Clutch Cylinder with relative ease.. Last step was to bleed the clutch line.

6 hours later and half a gallon of break fluid all over my garage and no success. I went with hooking a hose to a brake caliper and the slave cylinder. Loosened each bleeder nut and slowly pumped the breaks. Sprayed everywhere.

Picked up a new hose, attached some clamps and got everything as snug as can be. Loosened each and still sprays everywhere!

Ive tried taking the slave cylinder bleed bold out completely just to see if I could get a gravity feed. Nothing.

Ive tried putting a pressure pump on the brake fluid reservoir to see if I could force some fluid through the line to the slave. Nothing. Just holds pressure.

Is there an obvious step in the process that Im missing? Ive bled breaks plenty of times with no issue, but no luck with this.

Does the clutch need to be engaged? Does the car need to be in neutral? Could there be an actuator in the slave cylinder that is stopping fluid from flowing?

I am stumped!
