Just passing on a little experience I recently had with a brake master cylinder. The same thing should apply to a clutch master and slave cylinder as well. My car, after 5 years, began to lose braking power. I found the fluid level in the rear brake reservoir completely drained. Only thing I found was evidence of a leak under the fitting on the master cylinder that secures the brake line heading to the rear wheels. The fitting was tightened properly. At first I thought I was going to have to replace either the master cylinder or the brake line or both. Imagine my surprise when, on a lark, I loosened the flare fitting and retightened it and filled the reservoir to bleed the brakes only to discover that the leak went away just by retightening the fitting. Two months now and no sign of a leak returning. Goes to show that sometimes the problem can be a little thing like an adjustment masquerading as a major problem.
