Definitely be gentle to the gears, even consider STARTING car while in gear, until you get this fixed. It would be a tragedy to damage that nice rebuilt tranny.
My guess was the clutch master cylinder is bad. But if you indeed did find a leak in the hose part of the line to the slave, maybe that's all it is.
Air doesn't get in there easily, and fluid doesn't leak out easily. And you mention you replaced the cylinders with USED ones. No guarantees of long life there.
Yeah check the tranny oil level but my guess is with that new a rebuilt it should be fine.
As to the ABS I have no idea. Brake lines and hoses sometimes blow apart but they never fix themselves.
Till you get it home practice eyeballing where to park the car on hills so that it will roll as you start it and you can then easily start it in gear, avoiding clash.
Oh, and, making friends being as hard as it is in this big cold world, there's a loner's way to bleed things: Go to a feed store and buy a big syringe, 60 ml-2 oz. Cheap. And to a hardware store and buy about a foot of clear poly tubing that will just push well up onto the syringe nozzle. Also cheap.
Stick the tube into a new bottle of brake fluid and suck the syringe full, loosen the bleed screw well and pop the line onto it, then holding the syringe so any air rises to the top, push the fluid back up the line till bubbles stop showing up in the reservoir. Then tighten bleeder, remove hose and wipe up.
You might want to suck some of the present fluid out of the reservoir first so it doesn't overflow. And to make sure it doesn't seep past the bleeder threads, you can remove that and give it a couple of wraps of plumber's teflon tape and then reinstall.
This is a very fluid-frugal and low-mess way to bleed things, brakes or clutch hydraulics.
