Default Clutch hydraulics

I did a full clutch job a few months ago, GM slave and Tick Master cylinder. Everything was going ok until I noticed the pedal sticking near the top of the travel. Opened up the reservoir and it was about empty. Cant see any leaks inside or outside of the car. Any ideas? I have a bore scope but I think the head is too big to fit in were the slave port is. Would be nice to see the slave.

Have you tried rebleeding the system?

Are you thinking that there was a huge air bubble and that added to the loss? When I installed it I pumped a quart of fluid thru it and no bubbles came out. when the pedal got sticky I looked into the jar and the fluid was just at the bottom near the hole, added some up to the ledge and it seems like getting lower. I hope to god its not the new slave, thats a mother to change.

You called the shop correct?

It sounds like the slave unless it's leaking from the master at the accordion boot at the firewall.
