Slipping clutch...or is it?

My 85 GSL has a slipping clutch - or maybe it doesn't. Could it be that the LSD slips? Or does the LSD positively engage?

I'm losing clutch flud every week, so I'll replace the master/slave cyls and the flexi-hose (I have the mazda parts here) and try re-adjusting and burning any fluid on the disk before I swap clutches.

The LSD can't slip that way. The difference between an LSD and an open differential is that the LSD will resist letting one wheel spin faster/slower then the other, but the same amount of total torque is still applied.
