Default slave sylinder line/hose leak

Ok I was trying to bleed the slave today after changing it out with a aftermarket slave.

either my Oring is bad

Or the line is.

On the lower conection the part that conects into the slave, that part moves on the line. It apears that it shouldn't move just snap into the slave and stay but this one moves and thats where the leak is.

It is comming from around the line where it runs through that part.


Now my question is is this correct and my oring is bad and I need another new one or is the line bad?

please help me so I can get the right parts on order Tomorrow or hit the dealer.

thanks
johnny

Sounds like either the o-ring is bad or the slave cylinder you bought has a poorly made fitting.

Try the o-rings first, it is best to replace them every time. If not then try getting an OEM slave. I know when I was doing my 5 speed swap, I had to wait several days to get mine in...at the time it was the only OEM slave cylinder in the country.
