Default Clutch slips when hot?

So as the car gets hot the pressure in the pedal builds until the clutch starts to slip. When the car is cold the clutch grabs fine. Any ideas? I bled the clutch system several times to make sure no air was trapped and heating up causing the pressure to build.

Does it smell excessively? Maybe the rear main seal is seeping some oil on it. Maybe its just wore out. ???

It's the stock clutch with 120k on it. I'm betting it's just on the way out. The reason I'm confused is because it NEVER slipped until I changed my leaky clutch master cylinder. Then it'd slip when hot. Maybe it's just a coincidence that the clutch has gone out at the same time. And yet the master cylinder is full.

It just smells like burnt clutch when it slips.

Master-cylinder pushrod is misadjusted. Relief port is not opening.

Are you familiar with the term "freeplay"? You need some at the pushrod.
