Default Spongy Clutch

So the clutch has no resistance, I just replaced the slave cylinder and I am getting very little fluid while bleeding... could it be the master cylinder also the slave cylinder will not engage. I have racked my brain but do not want to continue and possible cause more problems... 93 hydraulic clutch... *************Ok just noticed it is leaking where the hydraulic line meets the slave cylinder... any ideas on how to fix this?*************

If it's leaking at the fitting then make sure they arnt cross threaded, the maybe use some plumbers tape on the treads but not so much it gets in the line. The last few clutches i've done I had to use a vacuum bleeder to bleed it right. My $0.02

I appreciate that. Im pretty broke so I appreciate the $0.02 lol... I looked at it further I was just getting furious with it. The line that goes in uses a push pin to hold it in and the new slave didnt come with a washer as the old one I assume had one on it..
