Willy,

That hose is super tough and I would be surprise if a hole was worn 
in it on such a low mileage car. It's very difficult to even snip off 
and in my experience, impossible to remove from the metal part of the 
line. Possible I suppose, but I'm not sure you could bleed it 
successfully if there was a hole in it.

As I said before, I have rarely seen a bad clutch master, it's 
usually the slave cylinder that goes bad first. Because of the way he 
slave mounts on a 1500, it could have leaked into the bell housing 
and there would not necessarily be a fluid trail.
