Most likely it was not put on properly while it was being bled up...

At least you will have all new brake fluid to bleed through your brakes all over again

Wash the engine bay out really thouroughly once you have a lid back on the master cylinder (or can rubber band a plastic bag over it till you do). The brake fluid will lift all your paint.

You will see brake fluid all over the lowere half of the drums if one of your wheel cylinders has let go.

more importantly, you should learn to use punctuation.

Was the MC completely empty? It's unlikely all the fluid could jump out from vibration.

If it is completely empty it would be worth checking all the brakes and fluid lines for a leak.

Shouldn't it be: " More importantly, you should learn to use punctuation." ?
