hydraulic fitting sealant

[undy]

The fitting that "typically" threads into the slave is a pipe thread (where it threads into the slave). In that case, new or old fitting, use a teflon paste. Don't use Teflon tape as it tends to shread and enter the fluid stream.

There are "straight thread" fittings that use a copper crush ring or some type of o-ring but as far as clutch slaves they tend to be the exception, not the rule.

Put the car back on jacks last night. The leak is coming from where the fitting screws into the slave. Can’t tighten the 90 degree elbow fitting anymore without getting a longer hydraulic line. Will get a new fitting, longer hydraulic line, and a backup slave (in case I’ve stripped the threads). Will also get some Teflon paste.

Thanks
