Makes no sense to me at all. A leaking line will reduce pressure on the slave cylinder thereby not allowing clutch riding. Something is awry with this diagnosis. I don't know if it's possible to set up this kind of MB clutch with a permanent load on the activating rod coming from the slave cylinder. This might cause the problem but again I doubt it.
Did you see the old parts when the mechanic replaced the clutch originally? What were your symptoms that caused you to replace the clutch originally?
