I'm pretty sure I have a leak somewhere but I haven't been able to pinpoint where. All I've noticed is I've had to fill up my clutch fluid reservoir once/twice in a month period.

I see no leaks/puddle spots under the car, I've checked inside the clutch pedal area and there is no wet spots or signs of leaks there but I do see some wet areas in the engine bay underneath the Clutch Fluid Reservoir which makes me believe its leaking from there.


Is this possible?Most leaks occur at either master cylinder or the slave. There isn't much parts where the reservoir is, just the reservoir and then the bleeder screw?

Cars currently parked for winter but would like to figure it out.

Usually where the resevoir attaches to the master, there is an O ring. I Would check there first. Could also be leaking out the slave, thru the boot. Is it dry?

I'll have to check the slave again.

So far, all I know is it leaks when I drive the car. When it just sits, I don't need to top up. And its not alot top up either. If I fill it to max, it'll be 1/4 down from max.
