Thread: Clutch fluid loss

Mid last year, I started to experience a loss of clutch fluid, and when I lost total pressure, replaced the old master and slave cylinders with new items.

All has been well until recently, and have had to top up the master-cylinder a couple of times in the past 3 months. Air is getting into the system causing sponge-feeling, and cannot for the life of me find a leak or weap in the system. There is no cross-threading, no damage to the lines, etc, yet the problem remains! Before anybody asks, yes it was bled properly, and there is definitely some issue lurking...possibly with one of the replacement items?

Has anybody else experienced this scenario, and what have you done to remedy it???Short of replacing the whole system again, I'm at a loss!

Have look where the hose fits into the fittings.
Might have to put the system under "load"(find someone/something to hold the pedal down).
If it's sucking air you would think when used it would weap, pull the boots back too and cheak for fluid.
