If you have a slave extension, then the fluid should only be draining from the end of the extension. It is leaking at the threads where the slave attaches to the extension?

no...it's leaking where the throwout bearing would go up and down...that's where its gushing out of...

Did you try bleeding that outside of the vehicle without any force on the TO bearing surface? Looks like you blew the "piston" out of the cylinder. You probably should just get another one rather than trying to repair that one.
