Clutch Hydraulic System Problems, Slipping SPEC Stage III Clutch-Please Help Diagnose

Here is my problem:

My new spec stage 3 clutch starts slipping, but goes back to normal if I let the pressure out of the system by simply opening the nut on the hardline at the clutch damper, #20 in the diagram, http://www.acuraparts247.com/sunnysi...All&vinsrch=no
after 70-100 miles it will start slipping again, i will open and close the nut on the line at the damper again, and it will be fine again. leads me to beleive there is a leak and air is getting into the system somehow or the fluid is not going into the master/slave or there is some excess hydraulic pressure ? I am thinking of replacing the master cyl #6, slave cyl #8, the clutch hose #15, and also that damper #20 in the clutch hydraulic system parts diagram linked above. Do you think replacing all of these would definitely eliminate the issue?

I am thinking instead of buying a new oem damper and oem clutch hose, to make the hose in stainless braided line, and the damper why not just eliminate it with a stainless braided hose/pipe or stainless fitting where the in and out holes of the damper used to be. Should work fine and cheaper than the oem stuff, and I don't see any other cars with clutch dampers, so it must be a luxury thing, maybe I will get better more consistent and responsive clutch pedal feel or more feedback in the clutch?

Let me know what you guys think. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!

check the bleed screw onthe slave cyl? start with replacing the slave cyl and move from there. start with the cheapest and move forward.
