oily dribble

[jpee]

Hi all looking for some ideas. I have noticed an oily slick in the drivers foot well of my '85 Transporter 1.9 petrol. It seems to be coming from the rubber gaiter at the bottom of the steering column. No oil on peddles or front wall of foot well. Any suggestions please.

First gues would be clutch master cyl is leaking then could be the brake master cyl.. needs looking at sharpish....... will riun your shoes if it gets on them........

Thanks guys. Found it no problem. The inlet for the hydrolic pipe is wet and oily so i'll assume it is the clutch master.
