Default Leaking Clutch Master

So i recently replaced my slave cylinder and couldn't get the braided line out from the actual slave. I pulled the pin that holds the braided line to the clutch master cylinder. After replacing the slave cylinder i reattached the braided line to the clutch master cylinder and tried to re bleed. It came to my attention that the fluid was leaking out from the point where the pin holds the braided line to the clutch master. How do i fix this problem?

The only thing sealing that connection is a small o-ring...that would be the first thing I would check.

I would hope you could get one from an auto parts store, but I've never tried to source the o-ring by itself.

Did you keep your old slave cylinder? The input line uses the same o-ring/roll pin type connection as the master cylinder.

Awesome...glad to hear they actually carry that particular o-ring. I figured it couldn't be too terribly uncommon...
