Leaking clutch m/c



I've just reassembled things after pulling the drivers knee panel - yes the 
clutch m/c is leaking, there is fluid on the bracket and a trace is running 
down to the clutch pedal. 
Now that I think about it, at the begining of the summer there was a sudden 
drop in fluid level and I took off the pedal rubbers a few months ago there 
was some dampness behind the clutch, but as I couldnt see where it had come 
from I put it down to some oil that had been used to ease the fitting of them, 
so it has been leaking for some time.
Til this happened, my plan for next weekend was to replace the clutch fluid 
reservoir which has cracked at the bracket, looks like the job is a bit bigger 
now.

I know that there are some BTDT's on the list (hint, hint, Phil), so any 
advice? I assume that the clutch will need bleeding after this, so how do I go 
about it?
