Default leaks when clutch is bled

so i just swapped in a h22a into my 93 si, im basically done and i just went to bleed my clutch, i of course put a line on the bleeder screw then into a bottle with fluid. as i pumped the pedal no pressure built up whatsoever and i heard dripping, i looked under and most of the fluid had went onto the garage floor. i noticed its leaking out where this line with a eyelet which has a bolt with a small hole for fluid passage is. its right on top of the tranny
am i doing something wrong or do i possibly need to install some little seal there? im kinda new to this and just wondered if anyone had any ideas

I believe the eyelet you are referring to is called a Banjo fitting and iirc there should be two crush washers installed on the top and bottom of it. These washers are supposed to be replaced anytime the fitting is removed, though in some cases this may not be necessary.

Also, if these banjos are anything like fuel fittings, you should take care when handling them because they can become brittle over time and the smallest pin hole or hairline fracture can cause a massive leak. If this is the case you may need to replace the line.

After looking through the manual, it seems there is only one crush washer on this fitting (however, I could be wrong about this the illustration is a bit unclear). The one washer goes between the fitting and the bolt head.
