[DML] Sealing clutch line connections

["Joshua Weader" <weader@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I recently replaced the part of the clutch line that connects to the slave
cylinder.   I tightened both ends down (I thought), and bled the line. 
Everything seemed to be holding together well - took the car for a short test
drive, and didn't notice any leaks.

Fast forward 24 hours: I came out the next morning to find a puddle of clutch
fluid under the car, and the reservoir empty.  I couldn't really tell which
end of the clutch pipe it had leaked out from.  Is there something that
normally gets put on the fittings to keep it from leaking?  Or did I just not
tighten them quite enough?  I was under the impression that just tightening
the fittings enough would seal them.

Thanks,
