Hi 8690q,
I take it your are still in Sauchie now, I did visit you at your work place with my B2 blue coupe GT, You may not have a fluid leak in your clutch system but you are correct that is the first thing I would have looked for is a fluid leak, you may have seals in the master or slave clutch cylinders that are passing fluid, this can be quite hard to test for, as for the clutch test with the engine switched off put the car in first gear then try to push it forward or back, if the car moves and dose not try to turn the engine over there may be a problem with the clutch disc or plate, a test for the clutch master and slave cylinder would be to remove the slave cylinder from the front of the gear box and place a large zip tie on the slave cylinder to stop the pin from coming out, the press the clutch pedal it should be solid or very hard,
if the pedal moves slowly towards the floor the seals are passing fluid, if you snap the zip tie with the clutch pedal I would say both slave and master cylinders are ok, this test dose not confirm what cylinder is faulty, but you would be better changing the slave first, the master cylinders can be very hard to change, hope this helps.
