2000 Kia Sportage 4x4 (manual trans.) 77000mi. When stuck in a traffic situation, my clutch starts slipping the longer I sit, especially when the A/C is on. Break fluid is full. No leaks visible and clutch works fine when not in crawling traffic. Engine does not over heat. Any thoughts-anyone?

Sounds like a seal is failing. It could be a the master but it might just be one of the slave units. I would wager on the master brake cylinder.
