I think you're having the same problem I had. I stupid shop rerouted my the Steel Braided line on the wrong side of the steering shaft causing the braided line to get too hot from being near the LT's and burn a small hole on the inner tubing. Since you have LT's that could definitely be the problem. Is there fluid on the ground after you pour some in and push the clutch?

Well when i put fluid in the resivar and pump the petal it goese down and up with no effort with pusshing with my hand so i puti up on stands and started filoling up the rezivar and start pumping again well it start leasking like a sive out between the trany and the bellhouseing. So i thought about it for a few and figured the only hydralics insided the trany is the Stuipid slave cly which is only 1500 miles old is busted i tooke it back in and they took the trany off and the slave is busted to all hell is what happened to me.

when u put fluid in it did u see any on the floor if yes its an external leakage fing and make sure the conections are not bad, if you don't see any fall on the floor ints internal you nee to change the slave cylinder that means removing the tranny.
