Theres only a single o-ring inside the slave cylinder (which is whats
leaking). Replacing that should only take an hour, including bleeding air out of it.
If it gets worse, you'll have problems shifting gears, or lose the clutch
entirely. Riding in a tow truck is uncomfortable. I suggest a stainless steel
long-throw slave cylinder from any of the vendors. Its a drop-in replacement that
should last forever, in contrast to the cast iron stocker. Good luck on the
run-J Deryke
