Default No clutch pedal, replaced master... bled system, had clutch for a while, gone again?

Any ideas? Lost the clutch pedal prior and had to get it towed to the garage. Finally go a 01-02 Master into the car and bled it, felt like we had a pretty good pedal for a while. Let the car sit for about 30 minutes, and it was gone again.

Any ideas?


Reservoir is topped off and doesn't appear to be leaking fluid anywhere.

Yes, I've popped the (used 01-02 updated hydraulic w/ drill mod) master cylinder line out of the transmission and noticed that the end of the fitting had been damaged. I'm currently seeking a refund with the seller and looking for a different MC.

I am pretty confident the system was slowly leaking pressure from where this fitting is damaged after we had bled it, which is why we would have a clutch again for 30 min or so and be able to drive the car, then come back to nothing until being re-bled.
