Question !@##$@ Clutch Pedal Help

Just replaced the brake fluid reservoir for this '88 951. I had the shop bleed the clutch because the pedal got low probably due to some air from the old bad reservoir. Two hours after I park the car and get back in, the clutch is now again 2 or 3 inches below the normal release level. I also noticed small amount of a clear, slightly viscous clear fluid leaking near the front passenger side of the car (not sure if related). Any help, the mechanic is starting to bum me out....

The clutch slave cylinder is located in the area you are seeing the drips. Most likely the shop that did the bleeding didn't screw the bleeder nipple in tight or caused a leak in the hydraulic line to the slave.

on an 86 is the reservoir the same as the 88 for the brakes? if so, don't the whole system need bleeding? even if the slave is bled, air might still be present in the brake likes and when parked works it's way up?
just wondering is this true?
