Hi All,

It seems my clutch has sprung a leak. There is clutch fluid running (slowly) down the back of the clutch pedal.
It's lost about 30-40ml in about 2 weeks, so it's not terminal, but not sure where to start looking to find out where the leak is or how to fix it.
Any suggestions for a likely candidate location for the leak?
And any suggestions for how to trace the leak?

Fair enough, but how do I tell whether it is the master cylinder that's leaking?

Unless you're seeing leaks from the pipe coming out of the top of the master cylinder it'll probably be the seals in the cylinder. You can overhaul these but it's much easier to fit a new one. Worth getting the more expensive brands like Girling rather than the cheapest.
