Perhaps I am opening the slave valve too much. I have been doing about 1/3-1/2 turn. I can try that and the teflon tape - but how do you get the tape off to close it up again without reintroducing air into the system?
I actually think that the problem is somewhere else in the system - it could be the clutch MC.

Leave the teflon tape and just tighten the nipple down. Could very well be a bad MC (you don't need much of a leak to cause a lot of problems). Or could be a bad hose(s), hose connection. That's why I suggested pressure testing the system and find where it leaks and replace the bad parts. The other approach is replace everthing if money is no object
ps, when I had problems with my clutch peddle where it would drop to the floor over a day or 2 after bleeding. I had no problems bleeding, the clutch just would not stay. I had no external signs of any leaks. I replaced the slave cyl and problem fixed. The only sign of a leak was a slight dampness around the rubber boot. .
