New clutch line - leak at master cylinder fitting

My '92 900S CV has a clutch failure - no resistance.
It appeared that the clutch line had fluid leaking from it at the soft part of the line and since it was the original I replaced the entire line running between the master and slave cylinders.
Got it all put in and the fittings tight, used suction to reverse bleed the line from the slave end, but I have a slow dripping leak at the master cylinder fitting where the line screws into the engine compartment side of the master cylinder. Is there something special about aligning this connection and getting it tight? Should I use plumbers tape or some other kind of sealant goop?
Thanks for any help and insights.
