Clutch hydralic leak - Need advice

Ok, so my clutch pedal was loosing pressure and the hydralic fluid was seemingly leaking from the slave cylinder. I searched the forum and came to the conclusion that it was bad and needed replacing/rebuilding. Upon inspection I found trace spots of rust and mass grime. I opted out of rebuilding it and ordered a new slave and master from Mazdatrix (since I read it was best to replace both to save future headaches).

Anyways, after replacing the whole system (master, slave, and hose) it ran a lot better. The clutch engages a lot smoother and has a bit more resistance going up and down, which is what I expected. What I did not expect was that the fluid is still leaking, but I cannot tell where from. It is no longer leaking from the slave cylinder as there is no longer a puddle under the car which leads me to believe that it's the master, but it could also be something else.

It also seems to be leaking from the new hose around the fittings where it attaches to the respective cylinders. Is there some washers that I could put on there to stop this?

I guess I just need advice from others that may have had this problem and am wondering what they did to fix it. I've been searching off and on again all week and haven't come to a solid conclusion.

sounds weird did you inspect the condition of the threads on the hoses?

there is supposed to be a copper crush washer in between where the hose threads into the slave cylinder. you need to make sure that is where its leaking before you go any futher. find that leak. are you losing pressure? we're here to help so post back what you find.
