strange leak question
So i have a strange leak, inside my cab,(87 2x4 22r 4 speed) if your sitting in the drivers seat, its to the left of the clutch peddle, i thought it was just water, it was raining for awile, but i used some silicone to seal the window(wich was leaking pretty bad), stoped the leak, for awile, added some more silicone, stoped the leak, now, the last few days the leak is back, but there is no rain or water, except the morning dew.
So i look under my dash, and it looks to be coming from ither, the clutch pedel rod, or from something above it.
My question is, is there any thing in that area that could be connected to the heater core or something like that, that can leak? Im pretty sure it cant be anything heater related, because when it does leak its very little and only does it sometimes.
i marked the fluid line on my clutch master to see if it goes down, that will answer my own question, but im stil spectacle about it being heater related.
Sorry about being so long about it, any help or advise is greatly appreciated.
Thanks Joe

What is the fluid like? Is it oily or watery? If it is oily, then I would say it is the clutch cylinder leaking. There is a hole in the firewall for the hood cable to go through and if the grommet breaks then there can be a slight leak to the left of the clutch pedal when it rains. My truck does not have a grommet there and when I wash it or when there is heavy snow or rain, I get a few drops running down the floor to the left of the clutch pedal.
The heater core is in the middle of the cab and the hoses are closer to the passenger side, so I doubt it would have anything to do with that.

When the clutch master went out in my 84, I replaced the slave and flexible line at the same time. When the master or slave cyl goes out, the other is always close behind to failing. Replace it all and be good for the next 20 years.

No reason to get all pissed over a $20 part. These trucks are getting to be 20 plus years old and older. I don't care what make or model vehicle exist, when it reaches 20 years of age, parts are going to need changing!
