Clutch won’t stay bled

So I think I’ve narrowed this down but just want a second opinion, so I replaced my clutch with the ECS stage 2 kit, replaced the bleeder block and clutch line as well as the O-Rings on all of them, and I can not keep the clutch bled. I did not bench bleed the slave when it was replaced either. It will be fine for a couple days but then I will go out to my car one morning and won’t be able to put it into gear. I then have to bleed it again and it will be good for a couple days and then the same problem occurs. This was the initial reason I replaced the clutch and slave, I also did have brake fluid coming out of the bell housing and eventually the pedal was stuck to the floor prior to replacing it. I’m guessing it’s air getting in through the master cylinder? And could the master cylinder letting air in cause the slave to go bad? Any other thoughts?

I didn’t bench bleed my slave. Sounds like you have a leak or a place where air is getting in. If you’re not loosing fluid then air is probably getting into the system via the master and that could cause issues with the slave not engaging. Not sure if it would cause it to go bad just not work.

Double check all your work.
