'94 Clutch problems
Alright, so here's the deal; I've got a 94 with a 302 and the M5OD transmission.
My clutch puddle got soft, went straight to the floor and stayed there.
Checked the master cylinder, it looked like it was leaking out of the bottom so I replaced it, bled it and it was all good for a couple of days.
Same thing happened, pedal went straight to the floor and I had no pressure again.
Checked for any leaks from the slave cylinder in and bell housing, all along the line and inside the cab but I don't see any leaks whatsoever.
I can bleed it and everything is fine for a day but the next morning, same thing happens where the pedal just goes to the floor and I have to bleed it again.
This morning before I touched the pedal at all, I checked the reservoir and it wasn't low but as soon as I pushed the clutch in, it wouldn't return.
Checked the reservoir again and it was a little low but not empty.
Filled the reservoir without bleeding it, pumped the pedal a couple times and the reservoir was almost empty.
Did that a couple times but I don't see any leaks from the line, from the bell housing or inside the cab.
Does anybody have any ideas on what's going on?
I also apologize if this isn't exactly where I should have posted this

My slave cylinder did NOT leak when it was bad. My pedal went straight to the floor one day and I got it to work for another week before it just stuck itself and nothing would fix it until I dropped the transmission and just replaced it. If your truck is 2wd, and you have a decent floor jack, 3/8 ratchet, about 3 feet of extensions and a swivel adapter, the whole thing shouldn't take more than an afternoon.
