Sounds like a defective Master Cylinder. You don't see evidence of fluid on the floor mat or running down the inside foot box? We see them from time to time here right from the factory. On most of our current builds we are losing them for a remote setup anyhow.

Jay, on the BDR parts site I saw where they sell a remote mount clutch master.

Backdraft Parts - clutch master cylinder

Is this what is going on the new builds? It looks good but where does the reservoir mount? From one of the pictures it looks like it mounts to the top of the firewall over the steering column but I can't see where I have the room to do this or a place to attach the bracket. I have an early build. Thanks for your continuing advice to BDR owners.

Shoot me an email. We have a full kit with bracket and reservoir. Next year I hope to have our real parts site up.

My slave had no leaks or seeps...couldn't find and on the master either until I looked inside and there, was fluid (more like graphite) oozing down the firewall, down in back of the carpet and crapping up underneath the car...ordered from Iconic Parts a new wilwood master and slave. hopefully all connections will fit. Big issue is getting to the master clutch cylinder...side vent off??? any suggestions???
