Have you identified where exactly the leak is coming from ? I ask because when I bought my jeep some halfwit had "patched" my clutch line with garden hose and 2 jubilee clips it was doing a lovely job of balloning all the pressure and pissing clutch fluid when it couldn't cope leaving me stranded with an inoperable clutch.
I solved the problem with an 8mm straight compression olive sealed coupling from the local forklift company, I melted the two ends where the leak was with a soldering Iron to form a flange on the pipe having first mounted the olives and nuts and then clamped the lot together as tight as I felt it'd cope with, so far not a drop has escaped and no air has got in she's been off road and used everyday to work.

Update. Got it fully bled and its back on the road. The steel line seems to have a better pedal feel, though that may be because my line was bad.

I need to straighten the shifter out on the ax-15. I don't like the position it sits in when going to 2nd and it causes me to mildly grind it when I get lax with the shifter. It gets too close to me IMO. It needs some torch action and a mild bend.
