I would say the problem is in the slave end of the system. The slave
cylinder is having to over extend to disengage the driven plate in the
clutch. One option is to get a longer rod. That is the rod which comes out
of the slave cylinder, there were a couple of different lengths. Another
option is to afix the slave cylinder on the rear of the bell-housing instead
of the front. Do you know what I mean?

>By the way have you seen the piston in the slave cylinder being over
extended or just the leaking fluid? Perhaps the slave is worn and that is
causing your problem. Don't rule out the master cylinder but it doesn't
sound like that is where your problem is.

clutch to grab when you hold down the clutch pedal. In this case fluid
leaks back into the master cylinder, so the system never actually loses any
fluid.
