fluid on floor mat

Post by Doctor Foster »

Noticed what looks to me like fluid on the drivers floor mat. Checked the brake fluid reservoir level and looks ok. Any thoughts on the problem?

Thanks

Fiddly getting the 2 small bolts in and out that hold the cylinder in place, helps if you're double jointed Plenty of cloths to stop the fluid getting everywhere as you take off the fluid feed hose. Gently tapping the clutch pedal while to the top was off the reservoir seemed to help bleeding our's although going for a coffee and coming back I think it had mostly done itself.

Perhaps an hour and a narf job including drinks and a pee stop. Wouldn't hurt to bleed the slave as well ... even if only to stop the nipple seizing
