Hey Doug!!!!! Welcome back!!!
As for the clutch, First try filling and bleeding. It is likely a leek,
unfortunately. The line betwixt the master and the slave is probably the
easiest thing to fix. Keep your fingers crossed. And filling and trying
to bleed will likely help locate the problem any who.
I am planning on going to the Rocks. Will have to leave early tho - gotta
go to a Surprise B-Day Party. No, its not mine ;-)
