clutch fluid vanished!!

well happy new year and a start as i mean to go on...fixing the landy lol

right before the cold snap i changed my brake fluid topped up all my levels oil water etc and clutch fluid, great been smooth running for couple of months.

so after a 12 hour noght shift on NYE i get in to come home and notice that clutch feels really soft and then notice pedal doesnt return all way to top, but i could still get gears with no grinding so pootled home

afetr a few hours kip i go out and check the 1st thing fluid, only to find there is none, empty all gone, hmmmm no signs of a leak anywhere, but it has been wet so may have been washed off?

topped up the reservoir and after 15/20 pumps pedal is back to normal, so all seems good, going to drive to work tonight (WITH SPARE FLUID) but my query is, where are the most comon leaks/problems

i had twitchy bum as i thought the fork may have gone, but seems lady luck may be on my side for this so far lol

cheers oh and happy new year

clutch fluid theft is big buissness

it will be the slave cylinder mine was the same it will have leaked into the bell housing, id be changing the master cylinder at the same time tho

cheers for that, will this come out anywhere or boil away?if it boils away.

As said slave leaks into bellhousing but its not a massive amount in the res in the first place so not unusual that it seems to have disappeared. Worth checking the pipe connections but slave is most likely

Ive also had the damper leak fluid.
