The Rule - "Troubleshoot first, replace parts second." You have to find the leak in order to fix it. Where is the fluid accumulating? If it's the hose, there'll be fluid on the firewall and or bellhousing.

Where is it leaking from?

And when you replaced the cylinders, did you use teflon tape on the threads where the lines connect? And when you tape the threads, did you wrap the tape in the same direction as the threads go so it doesn't untwirl as you are screwing the lines together?

before it was leaking from under the car. towed the car home. my friend looked at it. then he said he "i need a new clutch slave" so we bought one and changed, and it ran fine till then it started leaking again.(the clutch would stick and wouldnt go into gear) we didnt use any teflon tape at all...i still dont know where the leak is coming from...it doesnt leak from under the car anymore...sigh

Could you possibly have a crack in your master to slave line?

I never use teflon tape or any kind of thread sealant on hydraulics, on a car. Those are the last thing you want in your system. All of the threads are tapered and should seal fine when tightened properly.

Teflon tape is for straight thread fittings. Not tapered or compression fittings.

what kind of clutch are you using?
