TD5 Manual - clutch / brake reservoir

[3doug6]

While I was bleeding my clutch for the second time in 6 months (I think I did a poor job last time). I noticed the reservoir had a slight wobble. Is this normal or am I due to replace some seals or the whole reservoir? I noticed some fluid just below the reservoir however this may have been a spill as I couldn't see it before I started working on it.

Also, what would explain air in the clutch line? Not a leak from the master or slave at all and the reservoir has remained full. The first time it happened relatively suddenly after off-roading and then again on the weekend just gone while on the highway. The fluid was pretty horrible the fist time I bled it and some quick research has led me to believe this could be the master cylinder sleeve deteriorating? I know we did a proper job bleeding this last as there was no play and shifting was much smoother.

Ok Just went for a drive yesterday for the first time since bleeding and driving back to Brisbane. After going a few blocks there is air in the line again. Still no external leak though. I'm getting the Disco serviced on Wednesday so I'll post up if I find the problem. I'll just have to bleed again before I go so I can get there.

Normal for a small amount of movement from reservoir
You will more than likely require new master cyl in which case you should replace slave as well as it would be on its way out with bad fluid
in there
