    Brake fluid leak from clutch line

    I was bleeding my brakes using a Schwaben pressure bleeder. I noticed brake fluid was leaking, track it down to coming from the hose that connects to the side and runs to the clutch master cylinder. It is possible I was over 15psi because the stupid pressure gauge is broken.

    I'm going to replace the hose, brake reservoir, and two seals. I noticed there is no clamp on the hose and diagram (hose is #8) shows no clamp.

    Is there supposed to be a clamp on that hose?

    No clamps.
    None on the E30 or E36 either.
    It would not hurt to clamp, but be wary not to crush the outlet at the reservoir.
