You can't bandaid a hydraulic leak like that, there's too much pressure.
You can either rebuild the master cylinder or replace it but save your caulk gun for the bathtub.

I can't think of anything that would reliably hold the pressure seen in the clutch master. I would start calling around for rides. The worst thing you can do is try to fix it and fail, leaving you stranded and with a bill for towing the car back.

Contact spooledupracing and see if you can drive out there to purchase a new master tonight, granted it will take you a 6 hr round trip but it will work!

Having the same problem with clutch master cylinder. I found a new Beck/Arnley online for $40 + 8 for shipping. Its a pretty easy process to change out if the cylinder is pitted too much for a rebuild.

I think spooled is close to grand rapids. If you pm him he should get back to you reasonably quickly.
