Default Clutch hydraulic fluid leak

1988 4.0 5 spd Peugeot trans.
I've been searching the internet for days but I have yet to find an answer for my problem. It all started when I needed to replace my clutch master cylinder (leaking on my fuse box) and the new one wouldn't seal up with my hydraulic hose line, so after hours of messing with that, I ordered a new one thinking that would solve my problem. It didn't!
Now instead of it leaking in the cab, under the hood. its leaking where the hydraulic line meets the joiner at the clutch slave cylinder (internal slave). Am I doing something wrong here? I'm tired of replacing parts to get it back on the road, I have a lift I'm waiting to put on!
Thanks in advance,
Brandon

Sounds like the connector at the slave is bad. May need a new slave cylinder.

Did they change the way they screw together and seal? When I did the master cylinder on my 87 xj it all went smoothly, this however has not gone as planned.
I really don't want to replace my slave cylinder, as it works fine and before I started messing with it, had no leaks
