When I first saw fluid coming from under the car, I immediately grabbed water and rinsed the area around the MC, which made a larger mess thus making it hard to pin point the issue.
I’ll try again by pinching off the tube, you guys saved me a bunch of time with your help, much thanks!!

We learn from our mistakes.
Many people, including myself, do not put fresh fluid in the Motive pressure bleeder. Use it dry and pressurize the brake system to ~10 PSI.
1. Block off the overfill hose. I use a little piece of hose and a clamp instead of continually clamping the line on the car. Not necessary, but I like it.
2. Fill the reservoir with fluid.
3. Attach the Motive bleeder without fluid in it. Pump to 10 PSI.
4. Bleed each brake. You will likely need to add more fluid to the reservoir a couple times as you move from wheel to wheel.
This process is a bit slower, but requires less cleanup and likely wastes less fluid.
