T56 Slave / master cylinder leak?

I believe my slave cylinder is leaking on my T56 but I am not positive. I have a little transmission fluid seepage around the transmission which I think is normal, it's very little. By the slave cylinder where it goes into the trans and connects to the fork seems to have a drop or two hanging on it everytime I check under the car... Well, my question is this. Where can I get the slave / master assembly and how much? I would prefer not to go to the dealer for this but if I must, I will. Also, when I did the conversion, I had the motor and trans out of the car making it a lot easier. Do I have to pull the brake booster out or anything to do this? Any help is appreciated.

Re: T56 Slave / master cylinder leak?

The clutch Hyd. will use a Brake Fluid, not Transmission fluid. Have you notices the fluid level of the Clutch Resivior getting lower?

http://www.rockauto.com has the complete assembly, and Autozone has either master or slave as separate pieces.

Taking the brake booster out makes the master alot easier to get to.

I picked up the entire assembly from the dealer yesterday. And, yes, I did notice the resivior gettin lower than normal... I really don't want to take the booster off but if it has to be done, then I will.
