clutch fluid leaking

[fuzzy]

hi folks, driving home last night i found a wet patch on my drivers side floor mat. the clutch fluid is dripping of the pedal. is there a common thing to look for before i go and tackle it?

it's probally your clutch master cylinder leaking.

yup around 30 for a new one ,not bad too fit

That's exactly what it is based upon my unfortunate experience. If you're going to repair yourself you'll need a chiropractor when you're done because getting to the master cylinder is really awkward. Good Luck

Take the driver's seat out. Makes working there a lot easier, and the loose change you find will go a little way towards paying for the new cylinder.

Blimey, don't get scared here - it's an easy job! Just make sure you do the slave at the same time or you'll have problems again in the near future...

Job's easy, access is not.
Slave won't neccessarily fail following a M/C change. It's when the slave fails and the M/C moves slightly further in the bore than it does normally that the M/C fails right after.

Fairy nuff - I'd just heard the stories of one causing t'other to fail & figured it was worth doing both... Took me about 45 mins from start to finish, but seat-out's a good idea for next time
