Clutch pressure & PS Fluid >> Steve H. & others... (archive)

Guys I have some cars issues here. I was under the hood yesterday after my power steering
started to hum loud and found that much of the fluid had leaked on other components that side of the engine bay.
Not a good feeling. I put BMW Dexron ATF in about 4 months ago, as recommended.
It looked like a rupture happened somewhere but I cannot find it.
After refilling and driving some more, additional fluid had leaked.

At the same time, my clutch started getting soft again. I just replaced the clutch master cylinder in October.
Bled it fine and it performed well until this past week. I use ATE Super Blue in the brake reservoir.
What gives? Are these clutch master cylinders designed to work longer than a few months or what?

Is my brake master cylinder going south?
Thanks for any help!
