oil leak!!!!!!

Mckensy · 13-06-2006, 12:59 PM

Hey guys

I seems to have sprouted an of oil leak in my car!

(95 BA hardtop), there is some oil leaking down my clutch peddle! In very small proportions and I think it’s only doing it when it’s stationary for a long time as well (as in overnight) any ideas what this might be? I'm guessing it might be the master cylinder. How much does it cost to get one of these fixed?

Thanks guys!

It will be break fluid, not oil.

Check your clutch master and / or slave cylinder. It will get progressivly worse. For a band-aid solution to keep things ticking over, keep topping up the break fluid, but be careful! it strips paint, so dont let it pool.

Thanks 4 that, just got it checked 2day, and yes it is my master cylinder, its gonna cost $150 for a new one fitted, which is quite all right coz I was thinking more near $500!

Hey there, think i have the same problem.. did you end up getting a new cyclinder or topping it up ?

Is it worth getting a new cyclinder ?
