I'm guessing that you removed the slave cylinder, which interupted the fluid line integrity. That's the best way to introduce air into the system, any of which will find it's way into the master cylinder. Actually both can be "infected" with air if not properly purged, and the symptom you describe is because of air. A leak will be evident, dripping at the bottom of the flywheel region of the engine. If you have a leak, then there's the possibility that you have scoring on the slave piston metal surface. It's very easy to scratch that metal surface once exposed. It could also be corroded, and in the process of replacing the seals you removed some of the corrosion and created a channel for the fluid to flow. If you determine that it's the slave, when you remove it and take it apart, look at the inner surfaces with a magnifying lens under a bright light. Anything out of the ordinary will show up. You can try a light cleaning/polishing of the surfaces with a fine steel wool.
