SD Please help. I noobed while pulling whole front end

Hey guys. I am swapping the drive train from one wrecked fd to a decent shell. I removed the whole front end with engine and tranny as a unit. I thought I disconnected everything but I forgot one that was in the back of engine/tranny area. It snapped and now I need to replace it. It smells like coolant but why would coolant be goin to the tranny? It's a rubber hose and I need help finding the part number. Just looking to learn and for some help at the same time. Thank you for your help.

-Jon

Was it the plastic nipple under the oil filter?

That's where it goes yes but I didnt brake the nipple. I just need the hose. And my Ipad won't let me post pics it's only about 1' long. I want to know if there's anyway to fix it or if I'd have to get an oem one

It's the line against the side wall not the obvious tube

Clutch line is leaning against the body, the one pointing straight up is a heater hose.

It's the line that crosses over the heater hose. It's resting against the sidewall.....

That's the clutch hydraulic line. Just get a new braided stainless line -

$18 and problem solved. It's also an upgrade and a necessity if you run a heavier clutch.
