Leaking Master Cylinder HELP!!
I just finished up installing a new clutch with new LS6 Master and Slave Cylinders. Upon bleeding the system I noticed no fluid coming from the speed bleeder end, and fluid dripping from under the car. After more inspection I see the fluid is coming from the end of the new master cylinder. Is there an o-ring that goes in there, can the hose be connected at the wrong notch? I was frustrated and stopped for the night, but will resume early AM. Any help is appreciated.

Yes,there is an "O" ring in there,and the fitting is held in place by a rollpin.
It's a special flat-sided "o" ring,if I remember correctly.(so it'll be hard to find if you need to replace it)
Seems like it would be hard to make it leak,unless there's a crack in the plastic.
Maybe you've just got the line that comes out of it in a in a bind or something-check that the fitting goes straight into the master with no side force pulling it one way or the other.
I THINK it's the same "o" ring that is used in the "quick connect",but I'm not sure of that.
