Default Losing Clutch Fluid

So I keep on losing hydraulic fluid out of my clutch resevoir. Under the dash on the driver side I have a wet spot on the panel that smells like hydraulic fluid. What is leaking?

Master cylinder.

Get a replacement from GM and be done with it. Don't forget to do the drill mod on the new master's hydraulic line.

Yep. Replace the master with a GM one. It comes with a new hydraulic line too, in which you do the drill mod like stated above.

Do a search on the "drill mod".

Its definetly your master cylinder, and If you replace get an adjustable master cylinder. I got the ram one which is a stock gm master with a rod end welded on the end. You should also do the drill mod or replace the lines with AN lines and fittings that what I did and my **** works ****.
