Default clutch hydraulics...

and the meaning of life as we know it.

91 Vert, L98, ZF, of course.

It doesn't take long for the level in the master cylinder to go down. About two hours of driving or so.

I see no leak at the m/cyl. I must assume it's the slave cylinder or the pipe/hose.

Any guidance will be appreciated. I have a new slave cylinder. I know the bleeding routines and all. Anyone who has performed this or has insight?

Thanks in advance,

Jim

Search my user name and the search word clutch.. it will give you quite a bit of info.

now, did you check in the inside of the firewall for the Master to be leaking? it is also a possibility. How new is the Slave cylinder? there was an assembly issue with new ones (I had 3 assembled wrong) but the issue was found last summer, I would hope it has been corrected.

Check out www.zfdoc.com for the slave cylinder issue info

Check behind the padding on the firewall, the padding will "sponge" it up "if" it is leaking there
