The piston inside the slave cylinder came out and then the fluid started flowing out as you pumped the clutch.
This happen, because when you replace the slave cylinder, you didn't place the plunger end of it right on the release fork cup.
Not having anything to hold the piston in place, the hydrolic pressure pushes it out and hence the leak.
You need to take it out and re-assemble the slave cylinder.
Make sure, that when you insert it again, the rubber sleeve end (has a spring inside) resist you as you insert it and you know, you are in place.
Don't ask me how I know.

Note that there are two chambers in the reservoir for the brake fluid. One for the brakes one for the clutch It helps to have the car level. Make sure it is got enough fluid in it!
