I have had to add brake fluid to the reservoir twice in the last couple of weeks. I have not noticed any drips on the garage floor, last night I was looking under the dash and notices a drip of fluid on the end of the clutch slave cyl. Does anyone have any experience with this type of repair? I would like to know if this is something I can handle myself.

That is the clutch master cylinder, the slave cylinder is under the car, near the starter.

If you want to do the job "right", replace the clutch master and slave cylinders, as well as the intermediate hose that runs inbetween them.

Many of us have done the job. Some of us have done it several times by trying to replace one part at a time. Bleeding the system is the only real challenge in my experience and for that I've found the MityVac to be the most helpful.
