The master cylinder is behind the instrument cluster, which is easily removed per Bentley diagrams. If it is leaking you should be able to follow the trail of brake fluid from the pedal up to the master cylinder. The clutch master cylinder is down towards the bottom near the pedals. The clutch system is hydraulic and shares the same brake fluid reservoir. -- Jerry Huff Data General _____ Brick Unix Development RTP, NC 27709 | |_|_\ on \/ huff@dg-rtp.dg.com (919)248-6277 `0---0' Wheels \/\/
