Clutch help please

[Ryxx1]

I have a leak on my clutch.

DG 1.9 WBX

The part at the top of the dash has a long pipe to the clutch master cylinder, if I move this pipe at all it starts leaking everywhere.

Presumably I cant put a jubliee round this to clamp it up as i think its a plasic part in a rubber fitting. Do I need a new master cylinder ?

Also where can I get a new pipe from the top of the dash to the master cylinder?

I thought it was just a non-pressurised braided rubber hose from the reservoir feeding down to the clutch master cylinder

It is that one.... but it i move it a bit it leaks everywhere from the fitting near the bottom of the hose i think...

Can i just buy a section of petrol type hose and replace it ? Its probably the original hose from 1989...

Look on the net for your nearest dedicated hose supplier (i.e. Pirtek) or even a proper motorfactor and take the old one as a sample, tell them it's for Dot 4 brake fluid Should only be a couple of Derbyshire pounds.
