I have a 1996 Mitsubishi Chariot. my mechanic said at the last warrant that the cluthc master cylinder was seeping oil. Will this need rplacing fixing and when. Is the brake fluid the same fluid as the clutch? When I check fulid levels nothing has gone down so wondering when i need to do anything a bout this???

Without seeing it it's hard to be specific, but if the fluid level isn't going down I'd suggest that it may have just been seeping a little and not leaking as such. The hydraulic fluid for both brake and clutch applications is the same. By keeping an eye on it, you are doing the right thing. If you start to notice the level going down or any soft feeling in the clutch pedal, then you'll need to have it looked at.
