This is the slave cylinder that line connects to this black plastic connector on the right

This is the clutch master cylinder the left side goes thru the firewall into the clutch pedal, the right side stays outside of the firewall , one line connects to the brake master cylinder reservoir, the end connects to the hose line that goes down to the clutch slave cylinder

Here is that hose or line , it connects the master cylinder to the slave cylinder to transfer hydraulic fluid , when you depress the clutch pedal , brake fluid is pushed to create hydraulic pressure to disengage the clutch

Yes, the slave cylinder is inside the transmission.

With just what we've seen, I think just the hose. Maybe the master cylinder, because I don't know why it became disconnected. But probably just the hose. So you wouldn't have to remove the engine and transmission.

But let's see what other votes come in.

Maybe I’m missing something, but it seems possible the the hose was never properly connected by the mechanic, and that’s why it popped off. If that’s the case, why replace anything but brake fluid?

Because of all that ugly RTV that's on it. Either it was leaking, and someone gooped it on there, or worse, the end broke off, and the RTV is holding it together. You would replace it.

But what holds it in place on the master cylinder? I'm thinking it's got something to do with the groove that's currently full of what looks like rust? Maybe there's a clip internal in the master cylinder? So perhaps the master cylinder should be replaced? It needs investigation.

And if is indeed rust,, then what would be the proper course of action?

thanks RJ_RS_SS_350 but before never was licking, except the day I was driving I put in neutral and when I tried to engage I notice the clutch was released suddenly, but never was licking anything, I check my car very often to avoid any situation on the road.

I understand, Tomas, a previous owner did this repair.

The questions being asked lead me to think you should seek professional, or at least competent mechanical help. Somebody that knows what a "clutch master cylinder" is.

Ok, now keeping in mind that I have a different transmission than you, this is where the hose connects to the slave cylinder. It is directly below the gap between the fuse block and the ECM. It's the little silver piece that the clip on the flashlight is pointing at.
