Haven't come across the last two on our cars mind.  |
Could also be a leaking slave cylinder. Check the level in the master cylinder (pain in the rear due to location and there is a floppy rubber seal in the top) or check for fluid around the bottom of the bell housing/gearbox area. The smell will tell you if it's gear oil or clutch fluid.
