No pressure to clutch pedal after fixing fuel lines

[themustykrab]

Just bought my first e30 after looking for over a year and it drove home fine but I knew from the start was leaking fuel. I patched the 3 fuel lines that run parallel and are clipped next to each other, then when I got in the car to make sure everything was gravy, the pedal went to the floor with very little force and stayed there. I looked and the line looks fine from what I can tell.

Is there any common mistake I may have made while jacking it up or messing with those lines that would have caused this, I'm not too experienced with cars so you may have to spell some things out but I can usually pick up on this kind of thing without too much trouble.

Thanks in advance.

Check for leaks at the slave cylinder, soft line, and clutch master cylinder. Personally, when I come across this sort of problem I replace everything as they are typically all of the same age.

I don't think that what you did with the fuel lines had any relationship to this problem.

There's a leak where the slave cylinder meets the tranny. Need to get it pulled out and see what it looks like but I've been too busy and it's been too hot.
