I cant find the thread or remember the username, sorry.
Anyway, I have the same problem - new clutch kit with new slave and master cylinders.....pedal is nice and light, but gradually the bite point drops over the course of a few days until it needs bled again.
Its a borg n beck slave cylinder and someone on here had the same problem which they apparently solved by changing the quick-release coupling for something else.
The coupling on mine always has a damp smear of fluid on it so I assume it leaks a small amount and lets in air.
What did you use to replace the joint with? The plastic pipe from the master cylinder is 8mm O/D and the pipe from the slave is metal and 7mm O/D but it has a threaded fitting braised on.
Cheers.
