1992 Honda Accord LX 5MT Coupe Clutch Hose Leak

Hi guys! First time poster, I've been lurking for awhile. I love the advice txgreasemonkey gives to us!

Here's my question for help!

Please refer to this parts list:
https://www.hondapartsdeals.com/imag...M20.006.10.gif

I have a 1992 Honda Accord LX 5MT Coupe with 231,000 miles that has sprung a clutch leak. The leak is coming from somewhere in between the clutch dampener, and the clutch joint (right before the slave cylinder, #12 on the parts list link). The clutch hose (#15) is completely wet. It only leaks when you pump the clutch. The fluid level holds when the car is not in use.

The entire hose #15 is wet. Is it the hose, or could the actual joint (#12) be leaking? Could it be the clutch dampener? What else should I look at and/or replace?

I am planning on replacing the hose (#15), getting another oil bolt gasket (#5), a new clip (#30), and what else should I be replacing?

(Attached is the service manual.)

It looks like a fairly straightforward removal and replacement if I look at the attached page of the service manual.

Remove bolt from clutch dampener side, take out clip. Remove the 2 bolts from the clutch joint side and then replace.

Thanks in advance for the help!

I haven't thought about cleaning it. I did however look at the car today. Everything was still wet, but drying. So before I started cleaning it, I started to pump the clutch. I came out and saw that it was leaking from the clutch joint side underneath. The joint itself LOOKED dry, but the hose was wet. So I went ahead and ordered the parts I listed above. Thanks for the advice txgreasemonkey!

On another quick question, the old Helms factory service manual states that you cannot change the brake master cylinder on it's own. You have the change the entire unit, including the booster. Is that a false statement?
