[s-cars] Brake fluid on driver's feet

[P. Dooley]

  I think we have a winner.  Pulled lower driver side dash apart and 
found Pentosin on the brake slave cylinder as Michael suggested (and I 
had to wait a whole 7 minutes to get this answer - this list is great).

I had replaced the master cylinder a year or so ago.  Guess I'll think 
about doing the clutch while I'm in there as suggested.  Hope it gets me 
to the airport tomorrow and back in 2 weeks if I add fluid .  Better put 
some plastic down so my carpet doesn't get soaked while I'm away too.
