Default Clutch Line Leak

Okay, so I have a leak in my clutch line. I have to refil the break fluid every 3 days or so. Anybody know where the most common leak is in the clutch line?

It's usually the clutch damper, mounted on the passenger side frame rail.

I thought mine was some where in the Line or at the Damper also because I didn't see a leak any where else.
I decided to remove the entire Clutch Line and Damper and replace it with a SS Line instead. And also go ahead and replace the Clutch Master Cylinder and Slave Cylinder while I was at it.
On the new Slave Cylinder the Bleeder Screw was a weak piece of junk and it broke and ruined the new Slave, so I reused the old one.
So a month later, the reused Slave is the problem, or went bad with the new setup. It had a pin hole leak on the back side of it. So I ended up having to take it all apart again, but this time in the parking lot of Walgreen's. I can't even explain how fun that was...

Check the floor inside the car to see if it is leaking from the Master. Check the Slave and the Bell Housing of the Transmission to see if it's leaking.. Have someone repeatedly push on the Clutch Pedal and see if you see it leaking from some where in the line or anywhere else.

Here's some threads on the SS Line Option:

Whether you do it or not, they're good reads.
And this is where I had my SS Line Made to my Spec. http://techna-fit.com/

If you'd like info on my Setup just let me know. It's been working perfectly since June with no problems.
