Most likely the flex hose at the slave cylinder is deteriorated and has
collapsed internally causing a nasty restriction. This allows the high
pressure fluid to flow into the cylinder when you depress the pedal, but
the spring return force is not sufficient to force the fluid back through
the hose to return to the master cylinder. The cure is to replace the flex
hose.
