Clutch line/ blue hose

[Nixon]

Which line is this exatly? I cant find one on line with the fittings, only hose sections.

Hey NIX,
there are 3 blue lines pictured,
the thicker line is a hi pressure power steering line.

NOTE you should loosen the collar nut on the back of the pump and move the line away from the cam tower,
its cutting into the hose and could fail spraying fluid on the manifold causing a fire.

The second thinner line connected to the brake reservoir is a silicone blue line,
Roger sells new hose it doesnt require any kind of clamp it is a press fit, the clutch MC is usually removed to install this line but there are other ways, including the removing the brake booster or having the access hole in the fenderwell to get to the clutch MC
the third line thats ziptied to the thicker PS line I dont recognize, unless its a vacuum line then it may go to the 4 way at the booster or go to the fuel damper or 6 way splitter at the back of the manifold

Thanks Mrmerlin, The small ziptied blue wire is some kind of jerry rigged hot start the PO had put on, its hooked to the starter but just hangs free over the top of the engine, I just havent pulled it out yet. My clutch is still out from last week. On Wednsday I started the motor and started pumping the brake and the clutch to see if I could get some clutch pressure and it started leaking some brake fluid under the driver side tire area. Today I had my son pumping the brake and clutch to see where it was comming from, I can see some spray comming out from under the P as in Porsche area of the valve cover but its to obstructed to see exactly where the leak is. The blue line with the fittings is soaked so I thought/ hoped it was that line. From what I read a master / slave cylinder problem is way out of my league. If the problem is more than just a line I dont think I can fight off the "sell the damn car" people in my life. Any idea what could be spraying brake fluid at the front of the engine?.............NIX

it sounds like the clutch flex line has ruptured a common issue,
replace the flex line and then bleed the system also the Blue line to the reservoir isnt under any pressure, but if its old then a new one should be fitted its a press on fit
