Subject:Clutch slave cylinder only 3/4" travel length

Paul,
    Anytime you see a hydralic leak of any kind plan
on fixing the source, sooner rather than later but not
asap.   If your slave is not moving far enough it can
be bad for the clutch.   Replace the master and check
again or just go ahead and replace both with BD stuff.

84 Westy.  I noticed my clutch pedal goes all the way
to the floor.
Is this normal?

Slave cylinder total travel (clutch pedal up to pedal
on floor) is
only 3/4 inch.  Doesn't seem like very much to me.  Is
this normal?

I noticed a few drops of brake fluid below the clutch
master
cylinder, on the rubber steering linkage cover and I'm
wondering if
the master cylinder isn't working fully.  BTW, I've
already manually
bled the clutch slave cylinder.
