[V8] Clutch pedal goes to the floor

[MendezWerks]

I left the slave cylinder attatched (to the feed line) and inspected  
it. As I squeezed the rubber accordian boot, fluid began to leak from  
the very front of the rod/boot. So I would imagine it to be leaking  
into the bell housing and I hope that it did not soak the clutch disc.  
I will be ordering a new slave cylinder on Wednesday. I hpe the  
trouble ends there. Thanks to all for your input/help.
