Just prepped up to start refitting the firewall insulation, and spotted fresh oil dripping from where the clutch goes through the firewall.
Looks to me like it's the clutch master cylinder, so guessing a seal in that has gone? Could anything else cause the oil to leak out from where the piston on the pedal goes through?
They don't seem to badly priced (would get one from the US as assume LHD not always the same as RHD??) so thinking swapping that over should solve the leak (guessing the seal around the piston has gone?).
Just thankful we spotted now rather than once all the jute etc was reinstalled! Would have destroyed it meaning another dash out (and NEVER again am I going through that other than for a new dash or the like!).
