Hydraulic clutch help plz!!!

Hi guys,
In a bit of a jam.. Built a hydraulic clutch for my car using the info off the forum and am having a bit of a problem. I had it working really good but then noticed there was a bit of a leak. I then took the braided hose off of the slave and put some thread sealer on all the threads. After re bleeding the system, I know have no action at all from the slave??? At the end of bleeding it, there was straight fluid coming out... but for w/e reason it doesn't seem to be holding pressure to activate the slave? Anyone had similiar problems with their hyd. kits? I've tried re-bleeding it and nothing? It's getting really frustrating as I had it working before with a minor leak and now it doesn't work at all???

Thanks
Tom

Any leaks will make it so it won't work. Sealer will alo plug the smal opening and mess it up. Check your fitting for dirt or any dents that'll help it to leak. Hyd systems have to be completely air free and tight or they won't work.
