There is a bleeder nipple down at the transmission. You might have to
bleed it although our leaky one will just self bleed as we pump it
usually. Give it a few pumps and watch the fluid.

Our 88 has been leaking for a couple years. Sometimes it needs to be
filled daily, other times it will go a couple months before needing
fluid....

Mine leaked at the top inside first, then the bottom shortly after I
changed out the top which is why they sell the whole works as a kit I
guess. I managed to source out just the Master when I needed it though.

The pedals do have some play...

If the clutch is worn out there will be minimal play in the clutch pedal,
and there will eventually be slipping. That would be bad. If there is
excessive play, but it appears to operate properly, then there is probably
nothing to worry about. What you need to do now is periodically recheck the
fluid level, to determine how bad the leak is. If it is leaking "a lot"
then you will need to replace the clutch master, slave, and throwout
bearing, all at once on this year. That is a "big job" as far as labor
charges are concerned, so you would be better off replacing the clutch
assembly at the same time. If it is leaking a manageable amount, I suggest
that you keep driving the vehicle. For me, a manageable amount would be,
for example, something that refilling the reservoir once a month would take
care off.
