Default bleeding air out of master/slave cylinder???

about a week ago my clutch lost all its pressure so i bought a new master and slave cylinder and replaced them, now i have been gravity bleeding it for about 2 weeks and it keeps losing its pressure over night. my buddy told me that if you get another resevoir top and drill a hole in it; that you have take a air compressor with spray nosel and blow all the fluid/air out the bottom of the slave therefore getting all the air out of the lines...has anyone heard of this or know if it actually works??

get a friend to pump the pedal then hold it and take the bleeder loose. A lot faster than gravity bleeding.

they make a tool for this, goto a local advance and ask for it
^^also read above post
also check for leaks (just stating the obvious sometime it gets overlooked)

what your friend is referring to is pressure bleeding which is effective for a one man job
