1986 110 2.5na ....Two problems, minus 11 degrees here in NH, I went out to start the truck and the clutch pedal has no resistance at all, master reservoir is empty floor matt has oil on and also drops underneath the vehicle. I have ordered a new master and slave..... assuming One or the other is the problem? My second issue is that the fuel shut off solenoid will not shut off ! I’ve tried replacing it twice, and have had the electrical system checked over, seems there’s still power getting to it after I shut the key off. I’ve been putting her in 5th and stalling for about 5 months now !!

Welcome.

You might want to mention it's a 110 with a 12j engine when you post this in the Defender section

Leaking fluid should be evident at the servo if master cylinder or at the wading plug hole in the bellhousing if it the slave.

If no sign at either end the pipe between the two will be the culprit.

I concur, as this where my clutch fluid escaped from when my slave seals failed

-11 is a balmy, summer's afternoon where I live. T shirt weather up here, that.

Welcome to the forum @Rob Love
As the floor mat is wet, then it's probably the master that has gone. The fluid leaks out of the cylinder and trickles down the pedal and on to the mat. If you don't know how old each cylinder is, then it makes sense to change the master and slave while you are on as James Martin indicated. A few months ago I thought my slave cylinder had gone as I was getting a drip, occasionally appearing, at the bellhousing plug hole. On closer inspection I discovered the flexi pipe to the slave had a fine split in it and the fluid must have been blowing across to the bellhousing.
