Changed the clutch cylinders today. It turns out it was in fact the master cylinder that was leaking. I changed the slave cylinder anyway because it was only $18 (bought the cheapest one because they all had the same exact warranty) and also the master and slave cylinders get used the same amount so it was worth changing.
I was only losing 1/2 cm of fluid a week, when driving about 100 miles or so a week.
Surprisingly, the clutch feel got 10 times better, even though the leak was very small.
In the pictures you can see the grime coming out of the master cylinder
new!

Well today i got out of class early so i stopped by the muffler shop and got quoted $50 to get the exhaust trimmed so it doesn't stick out so far, so I'll be doing that next week.
Also, I stopped by the local body shop (reputable, been in business 30 years) to find out about getting the car repainted (black still) and they said it would be about $995, and he would try to keep the cost under $1000 so plan on spending almost that much. Before I get it painted i'll replace the fenders myself, to take care of the dents that are in them so they don't have to fix them. They'll also be getting the various small dings out of my door.
This is actually great... because the body shop is only 2-3 miles from my house. Dropping off and picking up the car would be not a problem at all.
I may get it painted after I do my clutch/flywheel/axles/lower ball joints/alignment, depending on how long it's going to be before trent is ready to sell his turbo.
I'm not too worried about time though, because waiting a while for boost might not be such a problem because in a year and a few months i'll be moving to Tampa, which most of you know is where Phearable is located, so waiting would actually work out well because it'd be a very short drive to get the car tuned, and that way i'd have the paint already taken care of which I plan on eventually doing anyway.
