sounds like the seal on the clutch master cyl is leaking. if you still have good pressure or stiffness from your clutch when you press it in then i would not worry about it. but on the other hand if you live out in the middle of nowhere or are going on a long trip i would change the master cyl or get a rebuild kit (if they make one). but i would replace it if it is leaking badly. all the replacement is is taking 2 nuts off of the inside by where the leak is coming from and disconnecting the clutch petal and hydro line. pop it out put the new one in and hook everything back up and bleed the line down to the slave cyl.

Cheap insurance to replace the master and slave at the same time.

We have them on the website.

I have recently replaced my master clutch cylinder, and slave unit. It should be easy and relatively inexpensive (less or about $100 for both master and slave) as long as the nut which attachs the tube from the master cylinder to the slave comes off easily. I had to cut mine so that I could remove the nut with a box end of the wrench. I then had to use a finishing nail punch to flange the tube end. Took me about 90 minutes. Should go faster if the nut comes of easily.
