Both clutch and front brake seem to be leaking. Brake more so; it will build up enough to drip down onto the body.

I'm not sure where they are leaking from, both seem to be about the same spot. The fluid builds up just under where the lever attaches to the cylinder. It would make sense if it were leaking from where the little rod goes into the cylinder, but it is hard to tell if that is actually where the problem is.

Any thoughts on this?

Maybe it's coming from the tubes off the reservoirs......? Ya' know what I mean... where they fit to the body of the master....

They are the one piece coffin style masters so the only tube is the brake/clutch line, which definitely is not leaking.

Clean them off really good, and spray em down with Spray deodorant. The leak will apear as a wet spot in the dry powdery residue.
