Price, it probably is the main connection of the pipes at the bottom of the 
reservoir.  Looking at mine when I had a leakage problem, Im surprised it 
doesmt leak there all the time.  See if you can  find any wet areas that might 
give a clue where the leak or leaks are.

If it is the brake booster for the brake side, the fluid mysteriously 
disappears with no wet spots anywhere.  It gets sucked into the booster and 
then into the engine and out the exhaust.  Youll get a whiff of it on startup 
and a little white exhaust for a minute or so until it gets burned out the 
exhaust.  But if its both brake and clutch id guess it is the reservoir 
connection which is common to both brake and clutch.

Hope this helps,
Frank
