Hello,

I am brand new to the MG world.  I just bought a 1974 1/2 MGB.  It is a
little rough but seemed mechanically sound on the test drive and the drive
home.  However, the first time we went to drive it somewhere, the clutch
was malfunctioning.  I am 99% sure it is a problem with the hydraulic
system.  If I sit for a few minutes, I can use the clutch a couple of times
before it stops working.  When it is not working, it moves much more
freely, than when it is working.  I checked the records the previous owner
gave me and he changed the clutch master cylinder at least twice.

How can I verify that it is the hydraulic system?
How can I determine which parts are failing?
Is there any other light you can shed on this?

Thanks,
