<div>When the master leaks, that DOT4 will run down the firewall behind the carpet and insulation. The paint does not appreciate brake/clutch fluid much. If the slave leaks it’s dripping on the ground. Been there, got the tee shirt. </div>

<div style="font-size:small">Perfect timing, of course. I've driven it every couple weeks all summer, no problems. But I was getting it ready to go to a show tomorrow, the first one of the year. I pushed it out of the garage, checked all the fluids, the tire pressures, washed the windshield...</div>
<div style="font-size:small"> </div>
<div style="font-size:small">And then I went to start it. The clutch pedal went straight to the floor, little resistance. That's new. I pumped it a few times and it started to feel more like normal. No leaks on the ground, no fluid missing when I rechecked the reservoir. I have the stock master and slave with silicon fluid. I'm thinking its master rebuild time. </div>
<div style="font-size:small"> </div>
<div style="font-size:small"> Any other thoughts out there?</div>
<div style="font-size:small"> </div>
<div style="font-size:small">So much for mini British car day at Larz Anderson. No way I'm committing to a 45 minute drive into Brookline with a questionable clutch. And there's no way to turn up a master rebuild kit this afternoon.</div>
