Clutch install, now has leak

I have just installed a performance clutch in my 09 and the install went good, trans went in ok, but now the slave cylinder is leaking. The clutch pedal is very soft, anyone have any ideas or have had this happen to them???

I had this problem, still do actually. I have a LSJ tho if there's a difference. People say its not bleed right, air in the lines. I've gone thru 3 personally and still haven't got mine working. Vacuum the lines or do the Pumping method.

How do you know its leaking? Are you looking through the hole in the bellhousing or did you take the trans off again. Did you try to manually bleed or vacuum bleed it.

If you overdue it on the vacuum bleeder you can destroy the slave. When you put the bleeder valve back on there is a little rubber o ring that fits in there. Its the first thing out of the bellhousing. Is the reservoir going down also?
