Default Clutch Master Cylinder Question

Just want to ask you guys a quick question.

Yesterday, I ran the wire to relocate my battery and had to remove the plastic trim panel that covers the ECU. When done, I cleaned that piece and reinstalled. Today, I went out to straighten the wire I ran just a bit and noticed two drip/run spots on the trim piece so I automatically assume thats the CMC. So, I grabbed a shop towel and touched the back of the cmc and it had enough fluid to make a wet spot about the size of a dime. Do I need to go ahead and replace the master cylinder? Not sure if it matters, but the car is an 05 with a little over 30k miles on her. Would it be okay to wait about a week or so until I get my new clutch installed or should I just do it now and get it out of the way?

Thanks

youd be fine waiting a week...just keep an eye on the fluid level and i think youd be fine

If the fluid is old, then replace it and bleed the system. If you can't do a full change, then at least remove the fluid in the reservoir with a turkey baster and replace it. Some fresh fluid has been known to stop this kind of leak.

Any s2k clutch master that has dirty clutch fuid will drip.

Change the fluid in the res and keep it clean, there is a 95% chance the leak will stop.
