Clutch hydrolic line question
Well I searched but couldnt really find what I was looking for.. I have a 86 Vette and the clutch pressure went out on it last night.. I decided to bleed the clutch today but that did not work.. I took the slave off and noticed that there was fluid leaking through the Piston inside.. I replaced the slave with a new one but the darn fluid line that has the rectangle block and the screw with the hole on it wont stop leaking when I tighten it down on the slave.. I even took the internals of the new slave out and replaced the old slave internals with the new ones.. I installed the rebuilt slave cylinder since that wasnt leaking at the hydrolic line connection but now it is.. every time I push the darn peddal down fluid just seeps out between were the rectangle block meets up on the slave at.. My question is there any specific way this Hydrolic line needs to be installed on the slave?? There is no gasket or anything like that correct?? Any help would be great.. Thanks...
