Subject:Re: Power steering leak !!? Nope CLUTCH!!

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?

Thanks
