Got a Little Clutch Issue

[jmsmith76]

i got a new master cylinder and put it in connected everything up and when i started bleeding it i noticed a lot of fluid dripping down on my head. so i got up and put my hand on the master cylinder (since i can't see it very good down there) and got my buddy to press the clutch and fluid was sprayin out like crazy. not sure from where. maybe the hydraulic line didn't fit in good? i need help fast, really need the truck to be back on the road by tonight or in the morning. thanks

Where you took that pin out from the tube (from the master cylinder) there is an o-ring that is suppose to be either on the end of the tube or in the master cylinder recess for the tube. Make sure it is in there. It sounds like that is what may be missing. Two more possibilities I can think of. 1.) the tube has a hole in it it 2.) the fitting on the tube going into the master cylinder is damaged.

we're all good, i thought about the o-ring thing earlier and looked around on the ground and sure enough there was one layin by the tire. so i just got done bleeding it and it lives to see another day. thanks for all of the help!
