Leaking clutch line
My clutch line that runs from the master cylinder to the slave
cylinder is leaking. It is leaking where it screws into the slave
cylinder. I noticed this while bleeding the clutch. After I pumped
the pedal a few times to build up pressure I noticed that fluid was
slowly seeping through the threads in the connection. Should I get a
new line or will a couple of wraps of Teflon tape work?

Re: Leaking clutch line
Teflon tape works well on the threads of flare fittings. It is a
lubricant that allows the fitting to tighten easily which compresses the
flare nicely. I use it all the time.
