Default Leaks all over

Cobra hasn't been fired up in a few weeks, during which time the temperature over here in Western Mass has been all over the place, from mid 70s down to low 50s now today a sunny 67.

During these temp swings, she's sat for the last 2 weeks, so was dying to take the black monster out for a spin this morning. But, noticed collant leaked on the garage floor, plus the clutch/hydro fluid resevoir was empty too. Filled both back up, but of course, there's no clutch pressure. Pedal drops right to the floor. Which probably means I have to figure out how to bleed the brake/clutch line.

Engine, a Ford 460 crate motor assempled by Performance Engineering has just over 2,000 miles on it (June delivery), so I can only guess things just loostened up and the temperature swings probably contributed to it.

This sound unusual, familiar, scary?
First time Cobra owner with limited skills. But plenty of patience.
Thanks in advance for advice.
