Subject: clutch problems

Help,



My clutch system is leaking.  It is a slow leak so I am having trouble

finding it.  It takes about a week for the reservoir to go from full

to empty.  The slave cylinder seems to be fine.  I got under the car

and checked the hard lines, all fine.  I noticed that my front trunk

carpet was damp with brake fluid.  This may be from recently replacing

the brake master cylinder, or signs that my clutch master cylinder is

leaking.  The clutch master cylinder seems to be dry to the touch.



Does anyone know where a clutch master cylinder will usually leak if

it is in need of replacement?  Would it leak were the pedal rod comes

out?  Also, does anyone have any recomendations as to an after market

clutch master cylinder?



Thanks



Brian Lerose
