Clutch cylinder question.
Just a preliminary question before I start taking things apart to find out for sure:
I have been losing clutch fluid for quite some time now, and I am pretty sure that I was told in the past that this was a faulty slave cylinder. Lately, I have noticed that fluid will actually leak into the cabin (onto my clutch foot). Just wondering if this coincided with my previous information?

You have three parts, a master cyliner, a hose and a slave cyliner.
If fluid is leaking on your foot, I'd bet you have a bad seal in the master cyliner.

I would say Clutch MC also...slave is bolted to the bell housing and would leak onto the ground...Don't forget to tilt the slave cylinder 90 degrees when you bleed it. For 10 bucks you can get a kit to rebuild the slave cylinder
20 bucks for the MC kit

I was kind of thinking the MC also because of the inside leak, but I'm also getting a leak outside. Maybe they are both shot? I guess I'll have to pull it apart and see. Thanks.
