What kinda car is it?

You might need to replace the line, or try blowing it out with an air compressor and flush it with clean brake fluid, there could be something in it causing the master cylinder and slave cylinder to fail.
You could also have clutch mechanical problem making to much strain on the clutch hydraulic parts.

MAY BE RIGHT MY BROTHER IN LAW DID RIG UP A LINE FOR IT THAT ISN'T EXACTLY FACTORY. THE GUYS AT THE PARTS STORE THOUGHT IT MIGHT ALSO BE THE BALL AND FORK. IF THE BALL WAS WORN AND BINDING IT UP THE CLUTCH WAS REAL STIFF BEFORE IT WENT OUT.

What the heck does that mean? The slave can't blow out the master. You probably should have replaced both at one time and flushed it. You may have some contaminated fluid.

If you have a binding clutch fork, seized release bearing on the front bearing support, or something going on with the pressure plate, you will be blowing out masters and slaves.

WE REPLACED BOTH AT SAME TIME AND FLUSHED THE FLUID I GUESS SOMETHING IS BINDING AND PUTTING PREASURE ON THE HYDS
