Hey all, I am a relatively new Celi owner, I've had my 95 ST just over 2 weeks. In addition to numerous other issues that the car has, my clutch master cylinder is showing less than the min level marked on the reservoir. The clutch slips terribly in 1st gear when I first drive it in the morning, or it's been sitting for a few hours cooling off. I don't think it's a problem with the clutch itself; I've checked to see if it engages by putting the car in second gear while stopped, setting the parking brake, and slowly letting the clutch out to see if the engine would stall: it did. So the clutch engages fine. I'm wondering if fluid might somehow be leaking somewhere internally to make it slip in first. Anybody got any ideas on what the problem could be?

if the master cylinder, or slave cylinder, are leaking internally then it would be hard for the clutch to disengage. sound like its engaging just fine but slipping when cold. that tells me its wearing out.
