Clutch Master Cylinder question-LT1 guys

I have a slight problem. My clutch is slipping when shifting into gear especially at full throttle. When I ease off the throttle & back in its OK. Now normally I would think the clutch is toast but it has only 2500 miles on it. What I did find was that when I remove the clutch master reservoir lid it is spilling fluid out. It seems that something is not letting the slave cylinder release all the way. I also noticed that the fluid is awfully dark as well. The hydraulics were just changed about 1000 miles ago also.

now for that setup: 383 with a T56. Spec stage 3 clutch & Centerforce flywheel. Any particular direction to look.

Thanks
Chris

make sure that the slave cylinder line is not touching the headers or is to close. I have seen this before on lt1 and ls1 cars. The fluid heats up so much it expands and doesn't compress enough making the clutch feel like its slipping.
