    Fluid leak was from the clutch master cylinder – now replaced and no more leak . I was a little surprised to find that the original master cylinder was of a plastic material – the replacement is metal . It could therefore have been either the seals or the cylinder itself which was leaking .

    New master cylinder was about £100 and fitting about an hour. Even though that feels a bit expensive for a master cylinder, now that I know the original was plastic, it makes me feel a little safer for long term ownership.

    Hope that helps others
