Default clutch master cylinder

With this being situated above the clutch pedal,how is its level checked,and if necessary topped up? It would be a requirement during a service,

In theory it is a 'sealed for life' system...not least because it is so awkward to get to!

Here's my solution, which I intend marketing on eBay once I find the time to persue such things.

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.

Thanks Mel.

Hi Very interesting and a great idea where would this be situated in the engine bay, would or could it be situated back to back by the brake reservior as in photo below, also what sort of materials would need to be sourced to do this mod and where from. Would the flexible hose have to be in an upright position so the hose could not kink in anyway ? please keep us informed thanks Arctic
