- Check your carpet. Typically the master cylinder seal fails, then it weeps fluid onto the clutch pedal shaft, and from there it leaks into the car. Currently I'm using silicone fluid in my street car

- Colin, the clutch hydraulic system is really simple. You have the clutch master cylinder, the slave cylinder, and the line running from the two cylinders. All of this is out in the open, so to speak.

- Clutch slave and master cylinder use the same type of fluid as you use for the brakes. Some people say Casteroil LMA, others use silicon based brake fluid. I do not use fluid, I rigged up a mechnical
