Default focus st170 issues

i am having couple of problems with my 2003 focus st170 firstly the engine management light keeps coming on ive had the code read and it says "inlet runner control stuck open" but its not affecting the way it drives at all occasionally the light goes out and stays out for roughly 24hrs then its bak on. secondly im loosing brake fluid but i dont know where from as it doesnt seem to be dripping to the ground any help with either of these problems would be majorly appreciated.

Last time I did one of them that was loosing fluid it was the clutch master cylinder seals leaking! I take it urs is the same and that ur brake revisiour is for ur clutch aswell? Is your carpet wet inside??

Ok, I have a st170, my clutch was slipping really bad recently so I changed it yesterday, but the new clutch is still slipping. Any ideas what it could be? I changed the DMF aswell, I am really stumped
