CDV install ran into a problem
While i was changing out the CDV i noticed that it was not bleeding, upon further investigation the reservoir outlet for the slave cylinder was not tapped, so no oil was going into the line. has anyone else has this problem?

Not sure what your issue is. I just did this this morning and was straight forward. Clamp the line, replaced the CDV. Hooked up a Motive bleeder, pumped to 14psi. Fitted tubing over bleeder and ran to an empty water bottle. Had friend down push pedal and then pull it back upon once, tightened bleeder valve. Total fluid in bottle was about 2 tablespoons. Drives just like it did before.

the rear of the brake master houses the fluid for the clutch system. It will drain out VERY quickly if you let the line hang disconnected. I did that the first time I changed out the CDV on someones car lol. You have to kind of overfill the brake master, and the extra fluid will spill over the wall and fill up the clutch master reseviour in the backside.

Your text is a little ambiguous -- are you talking about the hydraulic system reservoir or the bleed valve? By oil you mean brake fluid, right?
