Default clutch slave drip ?

Have a tick slave and remote bleeder, not sure if that is the issue or not. Crawled under the dash to have a look at the clutch safety start switch, and i noticed a drip of fluid on the rubber bellows of the clutch rod, not sure where it came from or how to correct it. I really don t want to replace the whole thing, but if that is what needs to be done so be it...
any thoughts, advice, or ideas are welcome..
TIA

If the drip is under the dash, that's the master right? Not hard to replace. Remove the access panel behind the driver's side front wheel and the dirver's seat if you want a little extra wiggle room. I installed an aftermarket adjustable master and have been very happy with it.

Yes, i think is not difficult. think i need to take the front left wheel off and remove panel in the wheel well to access it, and remove resevoir and swap out the master.

Call TIC and see what they can do for you. Its rare that the TIC Master will leak but it does happen. They may have a new seal for cheep.

Let us know what you find out and do..

Zach, at Tic says, yes it happens, ordered a rebuild kit with seals and clips and bellows, or what ever the cover is called.
