Re: Clutch line

[srubano@xxxx]

Chances are the leak did not occur due to the added extra pressure. 
The leak usually occrs after a fluid change if it had not been 
changed in a while. Old fluid will be a lot thicker than new so it 
will not leak out of the system as much if any. Chances are the seals 
in the cylinders were on their way out. That's why it is recommended 
that when you replace the Slave cylinder you should replace/inspect 
the Master clutch cylinder...and vice versa if you had to replace the 
Master.
