Re: Leaking clutch line
A neighbor of my son-in-law used Teflon tape on all the compression fittings
in his newly remodeled bathroom.
I helped him with his next project which was replacing his kitchen ceiling.

Re: Leaking clutch line
There are reasons to hire 'professionals', especially if you have the
ability to screw up a Teflon tape job....
I used Teflon tape sometimes dozens of times a day when I worked as a
plumber and renovator. It is a lubricant used only on the threads of
the fittings so the fitting can tighten tight easily which compresses
the O-ring or flare on tight.
'We' then 'test' the fittings before leaving......

OK, I tightened it like you mentioned and it does not appear to be
leaking anymore. I bled the system,and the peal got nice and
stiff. However, the clutch does not stay stiff after starting the
engine. It gets soft within seconds. The clutch is new, end-to-end,
minus the hydraulic line. I do not see any leaks anywhere and put
teflon tape around the bleeder screw. I did not bench bleed the
master, the instructions made no mention of it. Any ideas?
