Probably a leaking seal on your master cylinder

yes you will need to replace your master cylinder. do not buy the rebuild kit as it will end up like that after some mileage

the brake master cylinder will not cause the clutch to leak. the CLUTCH master cylinder is whats leaking. the cluctch master cylinder uses brake fluid to operate.

They're referring to the Clutch Master Cylinder. It also uses brake fluid. Just get a new one, install isnt hard @ all, and they arent very expensive, should be &lt; $80

The brake fuild is coming from the shaft of the clutch master cylinder, it's connect to the clutch pedal, cause by bad seal. Replace the clutch master cylinder, it's around or next to the brake master cylinder, It's the one with the smaller resevior. Remeber to bleed the system after you change it, to get the air out.

pretty much the same as bleeding brakes. Just bench bleed it before you install it. After you install it there is a bleeder valve on the slave cylinder.
