Stoltze - NEW slave failure symptoms

aftermarket slave was a Lockheed.
my conclusion:
1. either faulty seals
2. weak seals that couldn't take the pressure of the new oem clutch master
It began with a sticking clutch pedal. It would stick down during a shift and I'd have to pull it back up, but when i did, it popped up with pressure creating a really hard shift, different than when my old one failed.
Then it was getting worse, and I had to bleed it again and then it would be fine for awhile, then get stuck half way up, or on the floor, and then be fine. So I drove it like that for a bit while I tried to figure it out.
Then I finally saw drips, and the slave would intermittently lose pedal, and then repressurize itself.
During normal driving it seems it sucked air, but when the car was parked and I just pumped the clutch pedal repeatedly, it would leak.
Sometimes I'd go in first thing in the morning and the pedal would be nearly on the floor, but repressurize itself with a few pumps, and once pressure built up from pumping, it would work fine, but drip fluid.
Other thing I noticed was that t/o bearing would squeel, either due to poor pressure or misalignment of slave (i noticed it was misaligned when i took it off - torx screw holes seemed oversized allowing for it to shift, not sure how, because the torx screws had been tightened well).
any of this help?
