oh oh, what have i done, clutch slave

i just installed the new clutch kit and just after i finisned bleeding the slave. i clutched two times to verify slave working. the clutch felt good and all worked fine. all i needed to do was remove the tine spacer. had the wife press in on clutch while i removed spacer and i heard a pop like sound from slave and wife said clutch pedal went soft. shortly after i noticed fluid leaking from slave area.

i've certainly lost the seal. question is, have i done something wrong or was slave bad. at anyrate i'ms certain i need to take it apart again and the spacer is still in the cover plate with splines in. this is good.

any advice welcome here.

thanks, chris.
