[DeTomaso] Air in clutch system

[Asa Jay Laughton]

Have you checked the entire length of line?  There is a connection under 
the car where hard line meets the flexible line, could it be there?  Are 
you still using the clear hose line?  Could it have a small hole?

I know this sounds kind of dumb considering you're not spraying fluid 
everywhere.  I'm at a loss.

A big opening lets bigger bubbles thru but risks sucking air in around the threads unless you teflon-tape the bleeder screw threads before bleeding. I usually use a 1/4-turn on the bleed nozzle, and I always tape up the screw threads before bleeding.  Good luck, Dan- J Deryke
