Does the clutch still work ??

If it needs lots of topping up and it is the slave that's the problem it is definitely going to run out of that drain hole.

Simply keep topping it up and letting it leak.--

If nothing appears you have probably got the drivers foot well soaking in brake fluid.---

Or the top of the gearbox at the pipe junction is running with brake fluid.

One way or another you ARE going to locate that leak.---

This is the problem, when I checked the master it was still full. I bled the system but got very little fluid out compared to what I put in. The pedal is from time to time staying down and I cant get out of gear all the time with the engine running.
I then had a weeks holiday so the car just sat.

Even this month I will have very little time to spend on the car.

I think I will try an endoscope as mentioned in another thread to look into the bell housing. I will bleed again as I will have more time. If that does not work then I will remove the master and see what that reveals. I may replace it but I want to try all avenues before I remove the gearbox. Last time I did this I had the car on ramps for about 7 months but there was so much other stuff to do and the thought of doing it all again fills me with dread. I'm sure this time will be quicker.

The thought of removing gear box is worse then removing it, I know that
