As Bill suggested,I too have a female heim on the slave.
Brent I had a very similiar problem.My slave would develope a leak at the front o ring.After repairing it three times and snapping a grade 8 bolt that runs thru the pivot ball and threads into a female/female adapter to the slave shaft.
The pocket/hole in the fork was too small.When the clutch was depressed it couldn't pivot freely so it ends up putting sideways pressure on the slave shaft,thus the o ring.The fork was hittng the slave shaft.
I slightly opened up the far side of the pivotball pocket with a dremel until it wouldn't touch when at total travel.
No further problems in 2.5 years.
