thank you all for the many answers (and your patience). =20

the restoration on this car was started over 10 years ago by a mechanic =

including the hose, which has brake fluid on it just above the metal =
connection where it meets the slave.  I=E2=80=99m going to replace it as =
I believe that is the problem.

but I am saving the other answers as I well know it could be additional =
problems.

I had to replace one of the brake hoses, which also leaked at the =
connection, so this is no surprise.

TR3 small mouth.  finishing up years long restoration.  car is running =
(YAY!!!) and driving.  it now has 1 mile on it.

but the clutch has to be pumped to work.  I=E2=80=99ve bled it several =
times but it has made no difference.  I=E2=80=99ve carefully inspected =
around the master and slave;  I don=E2=80=99t think it is leaking =
anywhere.  brake fluid seems to go down very slowly in the reservoir =
when I bleed. =20

any thoughts?  bleed it some more?

I agree with Andy. Sounds like the fluid is passing by the seal on the MC.

Given that it works by pumping makes me think that a broken fork pin is cert=
ainly possible (based upon my previous experience). If you disconnect the pu=
shrod and lightly move the arm back and forth. When the arm stops against th=
e clutch or the trans give it an extra push and you might feel it move a bit=
 more. The broken pin will give the fork a little back and forth play on the=
 shaft.

Hoping that it's not a broken pin.
