Title: Losing Fluid from Clutch Reservoir Post by: Coot on March 22, 2020, 05:53:53 AM Good morning. I am slowly losing fluid from my clutch reservoir. it requires topping up every 500 miles, or so. No signs of leaks and no puddles on the garage floor. Thoughts, please.

BUT: You should also renew the seal on the slave piston and clean the slave cylinder bore. Because that is the main problem you are having. That is where the leak is actually occurring. *** |
