It was the Clutch Master

Finally pulled the pedal cover off and low and behold the insulation was filled w/ fluid. Anyway, ordered a new master and slave.
My only question is... Will I be able to to reglue the vinyl where it detached b/c of the fluid? Question is if I clean it, eg. brake cleaner or something, will Super77 stick?

I would try flushing with water, shop vacuuming out, repeating several times and see what you get. Brake fluid is water soluble, so you don't need solvents, just flush repeatedly. Go from there.

Who in the hell designed the clutch master in that location? What a SOB to get out of there with my banana hands.

Try changing the heater's water valve then, after that the clutch master is peanuts.
Had a nice surprise as well with the reverse light switch on the gearbox (I had to remove the clutch slave to get access there).

It was funny, all the tools I think have. I just needed a little bit longer wrench, but no. I had to reach from underneath and use a shorty. Germans and common sense? Hmmm. lol
