Brake fluid appears to be leaking into the vehicle via clutch pedal area. I suspect the master cylinder is leaking. Any thoughts? Could this be covered by warranty?

Location strongly suggests clutch master cylinder. This would be covered under the regular warranty (not power train). What was the warranty period in 2013?

The master cylinder is not an expensive part, but I don't know how difficult access is in a Camaro. The last time I did this job, it was on an old Blazer and access was not a problem. Also the clutch was on a separate reservoir from the brakes, which also simplified the process.

.I believe it was 2 12mm nuts that hold it on and the 3 lines(2-brake lines and the clutch line).Just be sure to bench bleed it before installing it.I removed the strut brace to make it easier.
