Default Guess the Origin of this Leak - Lame Entertainment

Here is a shot of my latest leak. See if you can guess its origin. HINT -- the puddle you see is brake fluid.

Rubber hose that feeds the master, the one under the clutch pedal. Wrap it real good with some tape and move it to one side of the clutch lever, it's only a gravity feed line.

Looks like it's running off the frame, not from the box.

Pin hole in one of the lines?

Those steel brake lines are as good as new (new meaning no holes), but you're getting warmer...
