I have seen the clutch master and slave cylinders have bad bores when they come out of the box. You should disassemble any new master or slave cylinder and inspect the bore. The bad bores will have one or more depressions in the surface where there are no hone marks. The bore should have a uniform surface finish from end to end. The cylinders with this bore problem will last for several thousand miles before the seals wear enough to start leaking.

The cylinders are very easy to disassemble, pull the rubber dust boot back, remove the retaining ring and you can then remove the piston assembly. Reassembly is just the reverse.
