[6pack] Clutch Hydraulics

[TR6UO at aol.com]

Listers,
 
Well, there's no way to ask this question without admitting that I had not  
started my TR6 in quite some time.
Yesterday, in preparation for some pre-winter embalming, I reset the  cutoff 
switch, got in to start the car and noticed the clutch pedal was very  soft. 
My first thought was I had lost clutch fluid, as I used to have the same  issue 
on my 4A, which I never resolved before selling. My suspicions were  
confirmed when I opened the reservoir and found only a small deposit of black  gunk 
defiantly starring back at me. I cleaned it out, refilled it and in a  couple 
pumps of the pedal I felt the familiar resistance of the hydraulics  returned to 
life. 
 
My question is where do I start looking for the leak? I did see some  
evidence of leakage on the garage floor on the passenger side. I wouldn't  normally 
associate that with the clutch hydraulics.
 
Thanks for any input!
