that's not right.
when did you last change the fluid?
if ever...
I would change the fluid, and you'll be bleeding the air out anyway.


If that doesn't stop it then the master cylinder needs changing

I started to hear this noise once it was the clutch master cylinder on its way out

Yes but not as fun as changing the slave cylinder
