I am having a problem. I just installed a new Slave cylinder because my
clutch master cylinder was leaking down and this site advised me that that
was most likely the problem. Well, I can let it sit over night and the next
morning the master cylinder is empty again. I am not seeing any fluid on the
ground or anywhere around my car. What is the problem and where is the fluid
going? This is frustrating to me and I am really confused. Thanks!!

WoW, that is weird, no indication of fluid anywhere, near a wheel (Bad
wheel cylinder)?? Or anywhere near the car????

If it were me, time to take it to a reliable shop that you know/trust

If here in the States, go to cartalk.com (Click and Clack). There is a
link for finding a recommend shop near/in your zip code.

Likely the leak is in the master cylinder. Look up under the dash where the
push rod from the clutch pedal enters the master cylinder for signs of
leakage.
