Snap! A couple of months ago I fitted a clear silicone hose that ends by the indicator stalk with a miniature non return valve in the end as a temporary measure to check accurately for fluid loss from the driver's seat.

Makes bleeding a 10 minute job and confirms my suspicions - a couple of ml loss a fortnight. Can't find any leaks but saw a thread where the slave was leaking and the fluid soaking into the crud in the bellhousing.

Will be changing the slave sooner or later. Was waiting for the warmer weather but over Easter it was too hot! Interestingly the leak hasn't got any worse over time.
