So I've got an 88 N/A manual. And my clutch is leaking.

Now I've ordered a Hayne's manual as well as the master and slave cylinders but I've not been able to find any info as to the specifications for the fluid lines. I'm assuming it's in the Hayne's but I'd rather get this done as soon as possible so if someone knows. Or if I'm just an idiot and clutch fluid lines are universal(seriously doubt) in diameter and I just need to know the length.

Thanks in advance

you don't say what or where you are leaking. There is a clutch master cylinder, clutch slave cylinder and connecting lines. Usual problem is the slave dies. pull the boot and see if it is full of fluid. easy to change - two bolts hydraulic line. jack the car up on passenger side you can reach it easy enough. Personally I change master and slave together because it is a real nuisance when one or the other goes out at OH Dark Thirty. If you have a leaking hydraulic line they are steel and may need to get one made. if it is the hose then get replacement from auto parts store. MY suggestion get a front brake hose for a 280zx which you can use and then bypass and scrap the damper thingy Nissan put in the circuit whose only function I have found is to make it hard to bleed the system.
Download the fsm from xenon's website. Haynes not always reliable.

Never found the leak. I'm thinking it's the master cylinder. As it is right now i can go around 6 months before i notice that it's leaked after refilling it. I've gotten the slave and master today so I'll get ahold of the rest of the system and just completely redo it new sometime mid week.
