I'm confused. Are you referring to the hydraulic throw out bearing as the slave cylinder ? Can you not get someone to activate the clutch pedal and watch through the hole in the bell housing to see what the bearing is doing? I have a hydraulic clutch setup from American power train. When I first install the kit, the M/C lasted about a month before it started leaking. I replace with a better M/C from Wilwood and I make a bracket to support the push rod on the M/C . it's been like 2 years ago. So far, no leaks.
If the M/C bypasses fluid it will leak fluid out through the push rod location. Sounds like maybe you just need to re-shim your hydraulic bearing due to clutch wear, or your clutch is worn out.
