thanks everyone, after close inspection it turned out my problem is a
faulty clutch master cylinder.Fluid running down the side of it, surprised
I didn't notice.


I purchased a new master cylinder(plug for Halsey Auto parts in Portland,
they had it in stock for only $39.00). Here is my new problem: all my
previous cars have had cable operated clutches, I do not know how to bleed
a hydraulic clutch. Bentley is a little vague on the subject, all it says
is the job must be performed with a pressure bleeder. Would it not be
possible to bleed it like brakes, just have someone depress the pedal while
I open the bleed screw? any suggestions would be appreciated, I have a long
drive home for thanksgiving and would love to do it with a fully
operational clutch.
Thanks again,
Don
