Clutch Banjo bolts leaking

[RUDE DOG - Steelers]

Okay so I got the clutch slave all put back together. I went and put some fluid in the reservoir to bleed the clutch. Within a couple minutes before I even tried to bleed it, there are leaks coming from the banjo bolts where the connect to the clutch slave. Never leaked there before. Lines are fairly new only 2 years old. Any suggestions?

Your supposed to replace the seal washers, 2 for each connection.

You may need to reassemble the banjo bolts with new crush washers, they are little copper washers that are supplied with the banjo bolts. The old ones usually leak if you try to reuse them. Otherwise crud on the mating surfaces, or a nicked surface may be to blame...
Just some thoughts on possible causes.

Thought I could just reuse them. Can they be had at local auto parts store?

If you can't find new ones, the old ones can be annealed (softened) to remove the work hardening, and they should seal again. If you heat them with a gas flame until they glow red, then let them slowly cool, that should do the trick. Keep looking for replacements, though, as it doesn't always work out.

  Banjo bolt copper seals on a G M front disc brake. I have about a hundred of them.

Thanks Guys, will look for these tomorrow.

I've always only found them locally (Advance or whatever) in little
combo packs, where you have to buy a handful of different
sized ones, but there's always been two in there the right size...
