Default Weird Clutch Problem

Recently installed a OmniPower Quiclutch Master Cylinder, new slave cylinder, and replaced the soft rubber hose with a InlineFour Stainless Steel line. System has been bled numerous times, but the following problem still persists:

-When the car sits overnight and is cold, the clutch pedal "creeps" lower, almost to the floor.
-To get the pedal back to where it should be I stick my foot under it and pull it up and it stays.
-When the car is cold, it is hard to get into 1st and 2nd gear, however, when it warms up it goes into gear like it should.

The transmission does leak a small amount of fluid due to a messed up axle seal.

Any help or suggestions is appreciated.

Does it leak any fluid from the clutch system? What kind of fluid did you use. Supposed to be Honda OEM Brake fluid.

I checked for leaks and haven't noticed any. I put DOT 3 fluid in it, but not Honda OEM.

you may have got a bad master cylinder. sounds like fluid is leaking by the seals when they get cold. put a space heater by the master cylinder over night then see if it acts up in the mornin
