Need a little help/advice

Long time reader, but the time has come to ask for help.

Im having a problem with the line that comes off the clutch master cylnder. Not to long ago I was sitting at a stop light clutch all the way down and in first gear no foot on the brake like I usually do at stops. However this time was different, my car started to move forward and the clutch pedel stayed in the depressed possition. This has happened a few times since then. I checked all the fluid levels and the clutch lines and found this,



The line was leaking out clutch fluid, a small amount each time the clutch was depressed. I put the zip tie on there in hope that it would slow down the leak till I could get a fix in.

Now that your prolly bored of reading, my question is would this be causing my clutch to not fully disengage and being stuck or am I looking at a bigger problem.

I thank you for any advice.

If it is leaking, I would get it fixed as fast as possible, the fluid will eat right through the paint.

As for how it is working, I would say that fluid leaking out is just like releasing the clutch manually.

it doesn't look good man. It looks like its expanding, you may need to get the line replaced. Yeah, that sux right there. I would say replace it anyways, its just a good idea.

So do you guys think this is what would be causing the problems. The buldge if from the tie that I put on, the hose isnt expanding or anything.
