Fiesta ST-2 clucth peddle not returning

Hi all, the clucth peddle on my 2014 ST-2 isnt returning fully to the top, no visable leaks from the gearbox or brake/clucth reservoir, no fluid loss, again nothing leaking from the master cyclinder in the car. Bleed the clucth, it was full of air, worked perfectly for an hour then back to staying half way. 

At this point im thinking the clucth master cylinder is drawing air into the system, any ideas? 

Kind regards

    More probable it's the clutch slave cylinder.

    Hi, update on the above. 

    Seen a clutch specialist, they agree no slip, no visual leaks inside the car or in the engine bay. Bled the clutch four time now, half a litre of new fluid has been pushed through. After bleeding, the biting point is higher on the peddle, still no leaking fluid between the bell housing and gearbox. 

    If the slave cylinder was the issue wouldn’t I see an oil leak? 

    Thanks, all help appreciated
