Default Girly man clutch part 2

I bought that girly man clutch 6 speed Turbo.
The clutch release is erratic, the power steering fluid keeps getting low and the clutch reservoir is overflowing. Accumulator problem?

PO only drove it ~ 500 miles in the last 2 years so there are bound to be more ?? cropping up.

accumulator and slave cylinder.

look under the side under frunk panels and you'll likely see oil dripping from the front pentosin reservoir.

If under warranty ...let someone else do.it.

Try to find a local car with the gt2 set up and try it. That slave and accumulator will fail again. /not likely for yrs but it will happen.

Just looked at the for sale ad on the dealer's website for your car. That's truly a very special car.
