How tight are those p-clips? They look quite big but might just be the photo.

What's the spacing <20cms?

And in photo 6 how close is it to the column? Again could just be the photo but looks pretty close.

p clips are 4mm just about gripping but no movement when trying to move the pipe, think i worked on about 150mm for spacing certainly less than200mm
photo 6 is an optical illusion photo 7 shows its not as close as first looks
thanks

It is best to space P clips for pipework every 8in.

Have a look at the spacing on a Ford Focus for example , at least 18" between clips .
Think you may have a leak from the master cylinder connections.
