The tapered rubber on the inside circumference always go towards the lubrication, also there is normally a spring inside the seal that tells you the inner side. As far loosing brake fluid, I'd suggest the you fully purge the system, that means removing the brake reservoir and cleaning all that crud out, bleeding the clutch slave from the bottom and top bleeder, bleed the front calipers from both the bottom and top. Its only about a $3.00 quart of fluid to change all of the fluid.
