Where is my clutch fluid going?
A couple of weeks ago, i had my prop shortened, fitted it to the car and started the engine ready to try it. I put my foot on the clutch and it went
straight to the floor with no pressure. I re-bled it and the clutch was great, biting point much higher than before too so i put it down to air in the
system.
Problem now is that only a few weeks later, the same has happened and the only difference is that it has been used more now that it drives (alot
easier to get in and out of the garage). I have checked the whole system for leaks and tightened all the joints but cant find where it might be
leaking from.
Is there any way that the fluid could eveporate if the cap is not sealing properly? Other than that, i cant think why it is disappearing!
How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

passed
NO BRAKES but no loss of fluid

Concentric slave? If so my bet is one of the joints leaking on that if you cant find it leaking anywhere else.
Damn things!

I'm having the same problem but on a much quicker scale. My m/c is brand new so I'm guessing there's a slave problem T_T
