Is this normal oil consumption?

I was driving home from work yesterday and the clutch pedal kept sticking on me. When I would depress the clutch pedal and release, it would come back up halfway and then get stuck for a second and pop up. I drove straight to the dealer where a tech diagnosed the problem as a bad slave cylinder. They wanted to keep the car overnight so that the guy who put my new engine in could look at it also. They are still testing it out as we speak. I was told that my clutch was in great shape when the new engine was put in.

So what could be the problem?

1. air in the system? bad fluid? (34k on the clock)
2. bad slave cylinder?
3. bad master clutch cylinder?
4. bad clutch pressure plate?

I hope this is covered under warranty. Sigh. This car is starting to depress me.
