I'm totally baffled.  I was losing clutch fluid so I recently replaced the
master cylinder (there appeared to be a little fluid in the boot).  Problem
solved, or so I thought.  After 3,000+ miles no loss of fluid.  Good.

Then I recently put about 400 miles on the car and the clutch fluid is
more than halfway gone!  The brake fluid is OK, except for a little loss
that appears to be due to sloshing over to the clutch reservoir cylinder.

I replaced the slave cyl a couple years ago.  There is no clutch fluid
on the garage floor after a run and no evidence of a leak anywhere.
I'd suspect the vacuum servo, except as I mentioned the brake fluid
level is holding.

Any ideas?
