Good point and not impossible to believe that this could happen, even with a new slave cylinder. However, would the car then go on to cover another 800 miles with only a couple more hiccups in the same department?
Yep when it happened on my truck it was several weeks and a lot of miles, a couple of fluid flushes where the fluid would go milky within a day and still losing a very small amount of fluid I eventually found the problem whilst checking the adjustment on the push rod I touched the rubber boot and fluid came out.
Was that with a new cylinder though? I would hope that a brand new item would be a bit more resilient than that
No it wasn't but as previously said some new ones are crap and fail quickly.
Some people are like Slinky's, they serve no real purpose in life but bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.

Sadly I've yet to find a new one that's not crap! The one I've had fitted had to have the angle grinder taken to it to 'modify' the groove for the mounting bolt. NOS would probably have knackered seals even if I could find one!

I believe the club do resleeved ones, not cheap but should last well as they are stainless sleeves so won't rust
