Chris---On the leak between the reservoir and the MC--Sometimes these
will leak a bit at the fastening threads. Wipe them clean, then check
with a mirror a while later. If so, you can usually seal the leak here
will a silicone sealer, but first you have to clean out the thread
hole(s) good with soap & water and dry it so the silicone will stick.
(There's no hydraulic pressure on these four screws.)  You may need to
take the reservoir off again anyhow, as it sounds as if you have air in
the MC that you are not getting bled out.  Do the now famous 'bench
bleed' that's been mentioned here a few times. Write back if you don't
have this info.
