Blake,
In all probability, the M/C bore is pitted.
I recently pulled my Clutch M/C because of leakage (from the front, just
like yours. I had intended putting a new kit in it, but inspection
reveled a badly pitted bore.
Two possible solutions. (1) spring for a new M/C from your favorite
supplier, or (2) have the old cylinder sleeved and rebuilt. Check with
Apple Hydraulics about that.
If you just replace the seals in the pitted M/C the rough pits will
quickly wear the new seals and you are right back where you are now.
