I'm not sure exactly what you are asking. You were the guy with the leaking clutch hydraulics, right? Are you asking if it's OK to take the car on a 225 mile trip with a leaking clutch? It depends on how quickly it's leaking out, what your sense of adventure is, and your willingness to stop and top it up now and anon.
Why don't you take it on a couple of drives and try to get a baseline for how quick it's leaking? If the pedal starts to get a little soft, it's time to add fluid. If it's totally gone, too late, you've got air in the lines and you're going to have to pump the pedal like crazy to get it to work. The hydraulics in the clutch system are not nearly as critical as the brakes so you can take a chance with it (as a matter of fact, it's actually possible to drive a spitfire without being able to disengage the clutch at all, but it is reallly, really, really hard to start on a hill!)
