Clutch cylinder air leak?

[andisnewsyncro]

When I pressed the clutch pedal before turning the key today, I could hear a "pffft" sort of sound coming from below the instrument cluster. I'm guessing I have a leak of some sort....

Too dark to try and do anything tonight but any clues or pointers very much appreciated. I'm hoping its something as simple as a perished seal.

I'll take everything off tomorrow and have a look, but I can feel fluid round top of the pedals so I'm not overly happy at the moment. It's typical too - MOT day tomorrow. Been fine right up until today and used in the ice and snow no problems, but I guess something has burst or failed as the weather has warmed up again.

Sounds like air in the system

clutch master cylinders are easy to take out.... but hard to get back in I'm told.

Cheers Kev, it's definitely leaking something...

I think I might well wimp out and let my trusty garage have a look whilst it's there for its MOT. It's too cold and I'm not over confident about doing it myself - I'll only break something else probably

quite right too
I've wimped out before now when it's dithering degrees
