clutch pedal drops to the floor....:Wconfused

ok so i replaced my master cylinder about 2 weeks ago and it fixed the problem of my pedal losing pressure and sticking to the floor. now it started to happen again. i tried to bleed the slave but it didnt change anything. any suggestions?

Keep bleeding. And check for all untight fittings etc. It's hydraulic it's simple....find where the system isn't sealed.

Yep, bleed it all again first, but in many cases a new master can kill a tired slave cylinder.

As the other guys have already said you'll most likely need to replace your Slave cylinder I had the same thing happen to me a few years ago as well,
