Very basic question about SS clutch line replacement

["supermattthehero" <supermatty@xxxx>]

I recently purchased the SS clutch line and while reading through 
the archives I thought of something. 

Now, keep in mind, my car is 350 miles away from me right, now so it 
brings me satisfaction to read about it when I can't be working on 
it. The downside is that I can't walk into my garage and do an 
inspection when I think of something. 

So here goes... It was my understanding that the clutch line 
connects from the master cylinder to the slave cylinder, and that 
the slave cylinder can only be accessed while the transaxle is out. 
Does this mean to replace the old plastic clutch line, the transaxle 
must come out??? The slave cylinder on my car was replaced just 
prior to my ownership so I'm not concerned about it at this time. 

On a related note, the drain plug bolt on the bottom driver-side of 
my transaxle looks 'moist.' There is no puddle formed, even after 
sitting in the same place for 4 months, but it has a wet look to 
it. What could this mean? The liquid feels oily and clear color. 

thanks as always!
