Default Brake fluid coming out from front of tranny???

OK i have a rebuilt transmission from Tick, new slave, new tick master, new ls7 clutch,and a remote bleeder. so i pump up the clutch a few times and start bleeding using the remote bleeder. I do that for a little bit and then try to put it in gear(the pedal gets really stiff) and it doesnt really want to so then i get out of the car and look underneath to see brake fluid dripping from the front of the trans where it connects to the bellhousing.WTF???? anybody have any ideas, im 100% sure that the remote bleeder is tight so what the hell is happening? any ideas would be great


Thanks alot

It's coming from some part of the slave plumbing, why not the quick dissconnect? Could also be the "o"-ring seat on the quick dissconnect nipple (held in by the roll pin). Might be a bad "new" slave cylinder as well.

something similar seems to be happening on mine but i think its just extra fluid that came out from when i was bleeding the clutch. the system seems to be holding pressure and fluid so i guess its alright.
