A lot of places say to replace the line.  Since it's almost impossible to replace this line with factory parts...I never did, I just cleaned it real good.  I haven't had any problems.  Just run a good amount of brake clean through it, until it's clear...then do it some more.  

Also, check your return line.  If it looks clogged, or hasn't been replaced lately, replace it now.  You will save yourself some time later.  They do wear out...eventually the inside will blister and close off the free flowing path to the oil pan.
