so, i was having a leak in my clutch slave cylinder and on the day i was going to take it to my friends house to fix the clutch pedal stayed on the floor and all the brake fluid leaked out the slave, i replaced both cylinders and when i go to bleed the slave i get no results so today in the morning when i went to work on the car noticed another larg puddle of brake fluid coming out the master cylinder so i redid the line assuming i might not have tightened it and started the long bleeding process once again only to realize the master is leaking from the side where a bolt is in place so i thought maybe i had broken the part while installing it an got it replaced only to have the same results!! i then took the line off the slave thinking maybe the slave was the cause but still the same leak from the same place on the master i don't know what i should do

 

So the leak is where the metal flare fitting goes into the master cylinder?

I'd check the metal flare fitting for any nicks,corrosion, etc.. What tool are you using to tighten this fitting?

 

No, I talked to a guy who knows a lot about Hondas & apparently it's the back up bleeder for the master cylinder. So he recommended i tighten it cause the line & hose are fitted correctly with no leaks.

 

I was fixing the slave cylinder in 2002 Honda accord 2.3 and I broke the fitting the goes in the slave...now nobody have the fitting...I went to the Honda dealer and they said I have to get the clucth hydraulic hose..because the fiiting is coming in the hose....price is $200.00 for the hose....I don't need the hose..i need only the fitting for the slave...can somebody help me....please

 

Just use a hose cutter and cut off the old fitting. Bring it to an auto parts store and they will size one up as it has to be metric. They are very common. You will have to install the new fitting and bubble flare it. If there is not enough line you can just run a new line from the master. Some 3/16" copper nickel line works fine, is easy to bend and easy to bubble flare.
