Boxster Clutch problem.

Hiya everyone, I was on nights last week and went to move my car in the middle of the night and when I pressed the clutch it stayed down, I looked underneath and there was a little puddle of hydraulic fluid there. I went back to work tonight to have a look as I had left it there, and I then placed it over an inspection pit and got one of the lads who used to be a mechanic to have a ganders. He says the Master cylinder under the front bonnet is fine and he felt around where he thought the Slave cylinder was (he hasn't worked on a Porsche before) and he reckons that is O.K as it didn't feel wet. He had me pump the pedal and it was pi#sing out underneath around the area of the slave but we couldn't see from where.
Any ideas or help would really be appreciated as I really don't want to have the arse ache of towing it and the cost of a garage.
Am I being too optomistic by attempting it with my Father in law (he did do the clutch on my gone but not forgotten 944S).
Thanks for reading this.
Andy Bruce.

My guess would be slave or maybe pipe. No idea how easy on a Boxster but probably not too bad. Cheapest place I found for clutch hydraulics for the 944 was ProMax.
