Over the last 6 months I've had to perform 2 road side clutch bleeds, and since then I've had a very steady leak from the lower bolts on the bell housing. Is it possible that my clutch fluid is finding its way in and then onto the ground. Obviously I will need to drain the housing but what work is recommended for the slave cylinder so the fluid stays where it's supposed to..
Any help is appreciated

Yes i would say most likely the clutch slave is leaking. They are not too expensive so probably worth just replacing rather than putting a kit through it. Might be worth replacing the master at the same time (if back pocket allows) as one often fails shortly after the other is replaced.

Be mindful that the slave cylinder push rod that operates the clutch fork is held on the fork with a small plastic clip. It can be a real pain to get back in place if you pull it out (though possible).


Cheers,
