Clutch slave cylinder

[thfrider]

I have a small leak around my clutch slave cylinder, but I can't tell where it is coming from.  Other then changing the washers on the incoming tubing what else can be changed to stop this? Thanks

Have you changed the washers and tightened the bolts?  If yes, spray some brake cleaner on the area to remove any oil then spread some talc or flour around the slave and work the clutch to find the leak.

If you have a leak there, it might be a smart thing to take it apart to clean and change some seals. I did mine last year and you would be surprised the crap that is in there.

This started with air in the system. Tightened the bolts and cleaned the area and was good for a long while.  Looked under there last week and there was a slight sign of fluid with dirt.  I cleaned the area again and so for no sign of fluid.  It's a small leak, no loss of fluid in the master cylinder and not reaching the ground.  Thanks for the suggestions.

most likely slave needs rebuilt. I did mine last year. Not too bad to do. Used the K&L rebuild kit
