What is your question?
I put in an aftermarket stage 3 clutch in my car about 2 years ago. At the time i didnt have a replacement throw out bearing so i used the OEM one. Car drove fine for over a year and a half. After this time the master cylinder started leaking out of the side access plate. I replaced it. The new one lasted about a month then did the same thing. I replaced it as well. It leaked after a month. I did this 2 more times with the same results. Finally i started thinking outside the box and sealed it myself. used heavy duty gasket sealant ect. It lasted about a month and a half then my clutch fork snapped. Thinking the pressure plate was just to much for the hydralic system i downgraded.(even though i know multiple people with the same clutch and car an they have no issues). I then installed a new stage one clutch,throw out bearing,clutch fork,slave,and master. This lasted a good month then it started leaking.So then i threw in the beefy one i made and it started leaking. The lines look fine and im out of ideas. It cant be the clutch because i know multiple people with the same car with aftermarket clutches an they have no issues. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Does the rod connecting the clutch to the master have any adjustment for length most do. If this is not adjusted correctly it will push the piston in the master too far usually tearing the internal seals in the master.
Thank you for the reply. Yes it does have an adjustment but i don't think that's the issue. When i take apart the access plate you see another plate that sits flush that's about the size of a silver dollar. Behind that plate is a rubber gasket and a small reservoir. There is so much pressure created that the rubber gasket is pushing around the circular plate and leaking.
