Default Need Some Help

I have a 86 Vette with the 4+3 speed manual transmission. Lately I have noticed that my clutch fluid keeps getting low and I am constantly re-filling it. There's no leaks at all underneath the car, however I did notice that inside the car on the floor by the clutch, gas and brake pedal there seems to be clutch fluid. Any ideas as to what could be causing this or where my leak is coming from ??? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Thanks for the info but would it be the slave cylinder thats leaking or would it be the clutch master cylinder thats leaking ??? If its the clutch master cylinder thats leaking I could see how the fluid would end up inside my car but if its the slave cylinder I dont see how the fluid would end up in the car.

Your master is leaking. If you don't fix it ASAP, you are going to have one ugly mess under the carpet.
If you are thinking about rebuilding, I left the part # I used, in a thread a few weeks ago.

I had the same problem on mine. I put a new master and no more leaking, or having to refill.
