I agree your slave is probably leaking. If Wilwood, they sell rebuild kits to replace the seals. Now would be a good time to switch to a high temp fluid and flush the system. You'll probably find the fluid is pretty dark.
Being built in 2002, you may not have a heat shield beneath the two master cylinders - definitely helps having one. Also look at how the hydraulic line is routed from the master to the slave - might be room for heat shielding as well as these are generally close to the headers.

Thank you! I will take pictures of everything I can find... I always wanted to build a Cobra, but as all of you can tell from my questions, I don't have the knowledge to pull it off... The opportunity came to buy one used at a good price and couldn't let it get away
Part of the reason to buy a Cobra was also to be able to work/wrench on it... It will be a very steep learning curve for me and tons of questions that I will need to ask... Luckily, this forum seems to be full of people eager to help/teach and I'm going through as many threads as possible to start learning (I promise I won't bring threads back from the dead)
