I told him about the same thing.Funny part is I went to drive my 1983.5
and I had zero clutch pedal.The slave went out and the boot was holding
the fluid so at first It didn't appear to have a leak.The other day I
tried to help a guy with gas smell.Then next day I have a gas
smell.Dennis if some one says their pregeant I'm in big trouble. I could
use the money but Morning sickness and the Larry King show doesn't
appeal to me.:<)   Marcus
