Well, yes, anything that results in the piston moving past the end of the
cylinder.  It shouldn't even reach the end, it's normal operating range is
within the bottom inch or so of the cylinder.  This can vary quite a bit as
the system is designed to take up wear in the mechanical components at the
clutch end and still give a consistent biting point.  By far the biggest
source of this wear is the carbon ring of the TOB, this is getting on for an
inch thick and can wear all the way down inside the casting before it is u/s.

Did you fit the spring-clips to the pegs on the TOB and fasten them round
behind the ends of the release arm fork?  If not then maybe the pegs have
become detached from the fork which I'm guessing will give you a lot more
movement of the release arm than there should be.

  or is it possible that the clutch fork is bent?????  and that is allowing
the
  seal to move to far out????
