Checking clutch reservoir level
Hi I was routing some cables and had to remove the panel above the pedals and discovered the foam was stained and felt of brake fluid, but I have never had a leak so hope it was when the clutch was done and they spilled some.
So anyway to easily check the level in the master ? Thanks

Just remove the cap (sometimes needs a bit of persuasion with a long, flat blade screwdriver against the ribs), remove the condom and check the level (mirror is handy). I use a syringe with a bit of plastic tube.(similar to THESE)
others are available! Leave room to replace the condom.

There's so little room around the reservoir I doubt you'd get a torch behind it, you can barely get your fingers in to unscrew the cap.

Good luck! I had a leaky slave and had to top up a few times before I got it changed, tore my left hand to shreds!

I use Gunson's Eezi Bleed, discard condom, bleed about 200ml thru slave to replace all fluid in system at about 15 psi (this will help protect slave seals, which is a transmission out job). You should end up with level about 10mm from top of master, use a tight fitting O ring in cap and replace.

There is no good reason to refit the condom, once it has been disturbed. Either cut out its centre and refit, or fit an O ring to provide a cap seal.
