clutch mstr cylinder R&R

[jdouglas@mitre.org (jason douglas)]

A few weeks ago I replaced my brake fluid and noticed some on the _outside_
of the clutch master cylinder.  (another wonderful benefit of being the
SECOND owner).  It's such a slow leak that a replacement won't be required
for some time, yet I've been thinking about doing it before the cold weather
   
Question 1:   I had a similar  leak in my '82 and it trashed a pair of
leather shoes. The fluid dripped right on them and it ruined the finish.
Has anyone else a similar story on the C3 (84-??)?

Question 2: There is, as yet, no noticeable loss of fluid in the reservior.
Is it right to think it will be 6+ months before it gets this bad?  Is the
slave cylinder doomed to follow?

Question 3: It looks like a straightforward job.  Any hints?  How long did
it take you?  Anything I should know?

Thanks.
