Clutch Pedal Bleeding Pressure
As stated my clutch pedal will bleed off pressure slowly if I push it in. If I wait too long the point of engagement is at the floor and the car will stall (with pedal in) and then I have to pop the pedal back up.
Per my previous searches I flushed the fluid. Problem is still here. I'm trying to figure out what to chase next, the master cylinder or the slave cylinder are my next ideas.
Application is a 383 LS1 with a spec 3 clutch and a Ram Adjustable Master Cylinder.
My initial thoughts were that it was the Ram Master Cylinder but I decided to flush the fluid to rule out any possible issues there. I still think it's the Adjustable Master Cylinder and attempted to contact RAM clutches but am getting no where with that. Their customer service is aparently non-existant.
Both the Master and Slave Cylinders are less than a year old.
Any ideas and opinions are appreciated.

1. Bad Master Cylinder Seal
2. Bad Slave Seal...
3. or a leak.. I dont think this is it or you'd be seeing fluid on the ground and having to add it..
Either one will allow the fluid to blow by.
I think it's the Master.. And I really do not think it's an adjustment problem.. or the pedal height would not change.

I agree with all the statements just wanted to make sure I didn't miss something. There is no leak in the system becaus in a year I haven't had to add a single drop of fluid. The leak is definately internal.
Anyone know how to contact Ram Clutches. I paid a good amount of money for their product and I'm 99% sure the problem is with the master. I'm gonna buy a McLeod and if it fixes the problem then Ram should warranty it right?
I can't ever get them on the phone and they will not reply to email. WTF is up with that company?
