I had similar issues, replaced both master and slave and still lost fluid/had pressure issues. Finally replaced all of that plumbing with a single stainless steel covered hose directly from master to slave. Been almost six months and no further problems. Good luck.

How far is the clutch fork moving when depressing the pedal? Could be a broken fork or pressure plate springs.

^ If there are no leaks and the slave is pushing the clutch fork, you have bigger issues.
