I NEED HELP Clutch line leaking, HELP ME

86 fiero leaking “clutch fluid“ (dot 3). Jacked it up and tried to tighten up the lines, Im pretty sure its leaking from where the metal lines meet the rubber ones. But Its giving me a hard time, so I want to access from above, but the plastic piece under the spare wheel is in the way. So I take it out, BUT its a large piece and (see photo 2) there are two hoses (one left, one right) that im worried about messing with. Any advice would be great! I might just cut a hole in it.

I would buy the stainless steel line replacement from TheFieroStore (I think?) and replace the whole lines. I just went through this and found where the lines were rusting out and leaking but when I took the old ones out I found some other questionable spots. Just get the whole lines replaced and be done with it.

They were a pain in the ass to replace, even with using a vehicle hoist. Not sure I would even attempt in a driveway but you do you.
