I've never had a 123 with a manual on the road, but on all the prior models, a leaking slave was very obvious on the outside. Try just adding a little more fluid.

Saturday afternoon I added some fluid to my '78 240D which I saw actually fill in some open space toward the rear of the reservoir. Looks like it might have been slightly low, I didn't add much though, maybe an ounce. Didn't notice any change right away but after 15-20 minutes of driving I could definitely detect the clutch engagement point had risen somewhat, reverse is noticeably easier to get into too. So now I've driven it ~2 hours total and when I get home I'll need to check again but we might have a winner. I followed all the clutch line outside of the cabin and couldn't find any signs of leakage, Dwight reports that the clutch MC has been replaced, I'm wondering if the slave is leaking inside the bellhousing? Any way to easily check other than pulling it?
