    Question series iii Clutch slave cylinder issue

    Okay got it out the paddock, new dizzy coil & plugs + first class advice from AULRO member and its running. However clutch devoid of fluid, opened bleed valve on slave but cannot induce fluid to pump through from resevoir.
    Anyone any ideas?

    Clutch issue

    Yup I had a closer look and the master cylinder is rattling and oozing.
    Also there is a lot of water in the oil on the dip stick & tappets, I checked the welch plugs they are okay and strangly there are no bubbles rising in the radiator, is there something other than a Blown HG or welch plugs?

    It could be the block or head cracked but not in an area subject to compression (Has it been in the open in an area that freezes?).

    Could be head gasket leaking between the pushrod space and the water jacket.
    I take it that it is too much water to be condensation? Nobody has added water in the wrong place? or left the vehicle with oil cap off and bonnet off? Can't think of anything else except deep wading.

    Don't think it has been in a freeze we are up in northern NSW but I'm a pomme and though Northern rivers gets frosts nothing like UK I've seen craked blocks and you can usually see an ooze somwhere. To much to be condendsation, Or could it? It had been standing for a year in a paddock but when I evicted the wild life, under the seat there was a juice bottle of water and a bottle of brake fluid, kinda tell tale signs really.
