So anyway, thanks for all the help. I am now fixed and ready to proceed.

Yep I was down a rabbit hole just last week on a clutch issue. Glad you figured it out.

We've all been there. The important thing is you got it fixed. There was another thread about those clamps. Most people said they replaced them because they couldn't get them to seal correctly.

What's the old saying, something about the most obvious answer is usually the correct answer.

Good to hear you have solved the leak. It would have sucked to have to go and shoot you over this.

Just kidding! No actual violence intended!
