Well, the fact that you see a puddle of fluid says that you have a leak. Yes it could be from the slave cylinder or it could be from the piping from the master to the slave or it could be the new master cylinder for that matter. If it is hard to see where the fluid is coming from or the fluid seems to be coming from inside the transmission bell housing then the chances are good it is the slave cylinder leaking. You don't need the pressure bleeding equipment until after you find and fix the leak. -- -Fred W
