Master cylinder leak?

Post by eatcustard »

I have noticed a small pool of brake fluid at the bottom of my steering column.

Would it be the Clutch master cylinder leaking or master cylinder leaking
or more to the case how do I tell which one is leaking?

thanks

PS
Are they an easy fix or a replacement?

99% the clutch master, not difficult but more fiddly. Tell by feeling the bottom of the clutch master, the fluid runs down the back of the pedal.
