Can a new slave leak air? After bench bleeding the master and checking for leaks, I'm still getting lots of air from the bleeder. Just how much air should come out? It seems really constant, but it's a brand new slave.
 
theres a good video on youtube about this..I had a new slave put in and it had lots of air..i just drove mine down lots of brick roads and that actually got out what i couldn't beed out lol and maybe put some thread lock on the bleeder if the nut comes out..idk if it does

It was a constant stream of air. I think the bleeder valve connection was loose. I pulled the slave and master, hung everything up but couldn't get it to leak air like it did when it was in the truck. I did notice a little fluid seepage around the bleeder tube where it connects to the slave, not much but it caused a 6" wet mark on a paper towel in 3 hours. I'm going to get a new slave.
 
you never know i recently had a defective slave. was leaking fluid but could never find where it came from
