Clutch Fluid Leaking?

[silbastian]

hey guys, just want your opinion on this matter... currently have a r32 gts-t.

since i bought the car it had been running well, though now for the past 3 months, i have needed to start refilling the reservoir every month, so im assuming i have a leak somewhere. just wondering if it was a common problem or if you knew what the solution was. i have also noticed though inside the car, just above the pedals where the pushrod is, when the clutch is released, somewhat a few drops of liquid comes out... is that normal or odd? this has lead to my left shoe with fluid stains and carpet aswell.

what shall i start considering to purchase to fix? either clutch master cylinder, slave, new lines?

thanks for reading, i need to fix this asap...

That's your problem. You need to fit a new seal kit.

yeah mate, 99% sure it will be your clutch master cylinder. Common problem on the older skylines.

You can try a seal kit but it may have a scored bore and then its just as easy to get a brand new one.

yeah a brande new one shouldnt be too much . a brake master cyl is only 90 odd
