Slave Cylinder Hard Line
Just wanted to run my car at the track! "Evo STi day tomorrow." Well it looks like my car is not going to make it there again. 
My slave is leaking from the connection to the clutch line/pipe. I've tightened it down and it doesn't move but yet I get a leak when I push in the clutch. It just leaks from the bottom part of the slave cylinder. I recently changed my slave cylinder thinking it was coming from there, well turns out it is coming from the hardline. I'm frustrated with this leakage ordered a STM SS braided line so im hoping it will not leak anymore!
Anyone else have hard lines leaking? Ive never heard of one just randomly start leaking, it has nothing to due with making 600whp + i dont think right?

dont over tighten it. Have you tried removing the fitting and screwing it back on? Make sure the threads are clean and the part where it seats inside to seal isnt smashed and thread it in nice and straight and see if its any better.

looks like ill be waiting for my SS line from STM to come in. Im 99% sure that will fix my problem. With 1 bar of pressure it was not leaking, but when i pushed in my clutch it was. "Dont no how much pressure it is when u push in a clutch."
