Please see images attached. It's on the trans. Looks like something should be hardlined into it, but I'm coming up empty between service manual and internet

That is the clutch fluid accumulator, of which (on a factory setup) the top port is meant to feed directly into the clutch slave cylinder and the bottom port is fed by the flex line. It looks like yours is bypassed by feeding from the flex line straight into the clutch slave. I'm not sure how common bypassing the clutch accumulator is, but I have it bypassed myself.

Service manual? Or Haynes manual? If it's Haynes it is incomplete. Above posts detail what it is. Clutch accumulator. If softens the hit. Moat people bypass it.
 
Haynes. Did some reading, seems most people bypass when installing a bigger clutch. I was told trans was built when I bought it
