Default Leaky clutch slave or fitting?

Has anyone taken the braided hose off of their clutch slave before? Mine is leaking at the fitting, wondering if there is a seal in there, or what's leaking.

The fittings can leak if they get loose, but don't know why they would. I have a quick release, which has an o-ring in it AIR, and it no leaky.

Could leak from the fitting, or it might be leaking from the threads themselves. Put a wrench on it and tighten it down and see what happens.

Boost, because sometimes atmospheric pressure just isn't enough.

No threads. This comes as a sealed unit master/ slaved with fluid in it from the factory. Looks like I have to hammer out a dowel pin and it will just pop out.

Are you sure it's not a quick release?

I though I heard a slight whistle from the master, so I started pushing on the salve with my hand and listening for the leak, as I did, the slave exploded all over my hand. Like a 15 year old with a picture of Heidi Klum.

Are there any places that will extend my hydraulic cable and make it a bit longer?

There is that shop next to the Muffler Man that does hoses and fittings. I forget their name.
