Default Is this the place to ask for help for bleeding a clutch??

If this is not the place to ask for advise please some let me know. Anyhow this is what I got.........

NOT where the steel line goes into the transmission but where the opposite line goes into that master cylinder w/rollpin (this is the side I am referring too)

I have the motor in and anyone of us knows that this is deffinately not too much space around but as soon as I put fluid in the reservoir, air bubbles come up the fluid goes down and I dont even begin to bleed the system it leaks right out where the master cylinder w/rollpin is located. i hope I am making sense... reguardless of if the line is plugged into the tranny slave cylinder or not, the air bubbles come up and it leaks out where the master cylinder plugs in.

Here is the line for those that know what I am talking about...



This is the side I am talking about this goes into the master cylinder and the roll pin holds where its indicated...



Now I went to autozone cause one of my buddies told me that once we put it in and put the roll pin in it had some play. So we put this rubber oring in and it lessened the play but still leaks right out before even bleeding.

.

I went to gm to have them print out if i am missing an oring or something that I dont have however the pic is not clear of everything there, they are just trying to charge me 250 dollars for the whole set, and I dont need that I just need to know why the heck its leaking before I am even bleeding it.

I hope what I am saying is clear enough, the line is not busted, nor is the master cylinder where the line I said its leaking out of......... any suggestions.

Sounds to like an o ring issue, is the master new or old? If its old did u make sure the old o ring was removed?

why dont you take the master out and try to figure it out that way.....you can bench bleed it then and see exactly where it leaks from and get a better view of the master to see if there is anything stuck in there..........ive had alot of clutch problems and i always found out it is worth taking the master all the way out instead of trying to work on it in that little space.

I didnt think on just pulling it out, I guess out of pure laziness, however it seems like the smartest thing to do, instead of diagnosing something with 4inches of space!! thanks everyone, i will let you know how it goes sometime this weekend if i get a chance to work on it. This is the only thing I have left to do to drive my car!! YAY!!!
