Replaced my master and slave cylinders one week ago, bled it, etc. Lost clutch pressure yesterday and found that my clutch reservoir was pretty much empty! (But not completely bone dry) Topped it up and let it run, clutch is working again. However I lose about 10%+ of fluid about every 20 or so miles, does NOT leak while sitting overnight. Can someone help me diagnose the problem? Bad hose?

Pull back the boot on the master cylinder. Make sure it’s not leaking there. Only a couple places it can leak.

-fitting on master cylinder
-fittings where lines transition from hard to soft, back to hard (closer to slave)
-fitting on slave cylinder
-slave cylinder boot/piston

Also, one of your hard lines between the cylinder could be corroded and is leaking there
