Although it is possible that fluid could have leaked into the brake servo
such leakage shouldn't affect the clutch.
Firstly if the servo was the culprit the brake pedal would go to the floor.
Secondly the brake/clutch reservoir has an internal divider which should
retain fluid for one system (brake or clutch) in the event that the other
leaks.
