Boiling creates air in the line. That's why old oil is not so good. It gets contaminated with water and boils at a lower temperature.

air=bad

Do you have headers? Does the line go close to it? Did you remove the heat shield?

Probably a blown slave. Fill the reservoir and check for fluid dripping from the slot in the bellhousing.
