Leaky clutch master cylinder quick fix?

[burlsube]

After spending the last year getting the 110 dialed in and ready to go on my annual Martha's Vineyard excursion I think my clutch master cylinder is on the way out.

While I was waiting in line for the ferry I noticed some drips of fluid by the clutch pedal, so I know that is the tell tale sign.

As I'm on MV for a few days and I'm not sure I want to embark on switching out the cylinder is there anything I can do in the mean time?

Is it a simple monitor and top off? With two kids with my I certainly don't want to be stranded anytime soon either.

Any other ideas? Basically just trying to plug along for the next 4 days and make the 60 mile trip back home.

Keep topping it off to prevent air from entering the system and change both the master and the slave when you can. You may want to consider the Dorman conversion that Jason Lavender sells.

Tell him you heard about it on NAS-ROW.

Who is the individual who does the brass inserts on genuine master cylinders?

It may be tough to find on MV, but the GT LMA fluid helps in such circumstances.

FYI the fluid leaking is going to eat through the paint anywhere it touches if it sits on there.
