Ive heard lots of issues with those omni mc's... Id cancel that sale.
You have a big-ass leak. Maybe its from the seals, maybe its from damage, maybe youre line is fried, maybe your connection is bad, maybe the slave cyl has a leak.
Fill it back up with fluid, bleed it, and see where the fluid goes

Omni cleared up their issues with their bad batch. There should be no problems with their new design.

Both of the bad MCs that I saw had a leak that you could see on the inside firewall above the pedal (where the MC is bolted on the other side). Don't for ge to look there for wetness.

You didn't check it before buying parts?

Try refilling it, bleeding it, and see if it leaks again.

In some cars, the fluid just disappears. It's happened to me before on a perfectly healthy clutch hydrolic system. It's very unusual though, you'll probably need that new master.
