Alright- I posted here about a month or so so about this problem. I just swapped out my slave/release cylinder and bled the system. I'm still having the same problem. I will push down on the clutch pedal. the release piston pushes out against the clutch fork. After a few seconds, the system looses pressure, and the piston retracts back into the cylinder. Does anybody have any thoughts on what I should check next? Should I look at the master cylinder? Thanks

did you replace the clutch recently? check the throwout bearing and the clutch line itself... new SS lines are cheap...

haven't touched the clutch- it's fine. Yeah, somewhere, there is a leak and the system isn't holding pressure. So now I have to try and figure out what to do next
