Mike, Check all the obvious places for leaks but don't assume the new M/C is not leaking. After I did what you did on my Rabbit Resto Project, I had the same leak problem you describe. In my case it WAS the brand new M/C leaking on me. That was a Royal PITA since it occurred after I had re-assembled the engine engine bay and it was clean enough to eat off of. That made changeing the M/C without spilling any brake fluid on the fresh engine compartment paint and new/restored engine components a real challenge. BTW, did you re-use the brake lines that connect to the M/C or did you replace any of them? If you replaced them, hopefully you were able to flare the ends properly otherwise that could be a source for a leak. BTDT on my Rabbit Project as well.
