Slave cylinder new, but leaking hose fitting to the cylinder when bleeding

so i got a new master and slave cylinder, i was bleeding it and it leaks where the hose meets the slave cylinder, just wondering who had this problem? will buying a new hose fix this? dont want to have to order it, but maybe im missing something? does a washer go between? my petal is realllllllllllllllllllllllly soft. basicalyy my clutch feels like my gas petal.

helps

Always use a brand new copper washer. Don't re-use the old one.

if it leaks, there is obviously a problem. i don't remember there being a copper crush washer on mine tho. your pedal is never going to firm up if you're losing fluid. fix the leak first, THEN bleed it.

If you clean the threads good of all brake fluid you can prevent leaks by putting a little bit of red thread locker on the line. I had to do this once when I was in a pinch and didn't have the copper washer on hand.

I would highly recommend a copper washer though.
