Default Clutch pedal slowly dies

Just recently rebuilt my Mcleod adj master and when I installed my new clutch (Textralia) it came with a brand new slave.

After I bleed the system, it seems pretty good for about a week with engagement in the middle.

...then the pedal begins to die and engagement is right off the floor. The top half of the pedal travel is limp...it still returns the pedal but its very sloppy at the top.

Do I have a leak somewhere? Thats all I can guess...

The stock mc wouldnt work at all. First I bench bled the stock mc (brand new one) and got ALL the air out. Then I bled it hooked up to get all the air out of the slave....when I tested it, it would barely go into gears, and it would engage RIGHT off the floor...

So I put the Mcleod in (just because I had it) and it works great but only for like a week...I'm thinking it is a leak, but the slave is also brand new..
