Couldn't directly find this in this topic, so I thought this could be a good place to share it:

The hose for the clutch goes through the scuttle panel, into the area where also the brake cylinder is (right underneath it). If the grommet is worn/damaged, or you replaced it with the copper tubing from the Tazu clutch cylinder, chances are very good that it is leaking through there. You wont notice anything, because the water will flow down behind the dashboard, right behind the carpet into the footwell.
Only way I found it was by literally putting my hand underneath the carpet and feeling if it was moist. It was soaking moist....
