Thanks everyone. I guess it isn't power steering. It appears to be coming from a mechanism which I assume is the clutch master cylinder. It looks like it's leaking from the top. I can't get to it without some work. Again my Bentley hasn't arrived so I'm not sure what I can do except keep the fluid up. Are these (clutch master cylinders) easy or cheap to replace?
