The clutch slave hose will typically fail at it's ends, and it's obvious when it starts to leak.  Be very careful with the hose when servicing the transmission or when removing the engine.  The clutch slave flex hose can easily be damaged when doing either procedure.  Stainless steel replacement clutch flex hose lines are popular.

With any of the clutch hydraulics, if your set (clutch master cylinder, clutch flex hose, and the clutch slave cylinder) is still original from the factory, it is highly recommended to replace them all at the same time if you can afford it.  It is common to end up replacing all of them once one fails, as you end up replacing the weakest link in the chain and they all leak once you start replacing each aging component.
