slave cylinder replacement
Richie_EB4:
Mine has a leak like that bu its black oil :? .......something to do with the engine i think LOL
Skywalker:
The oil will most likely be leaking from the rear crankshaft oil seal, if the wading plug is left in the clutch will get contaminated with oil and slip.
You won't get brake fluid coming out of the bell housing, so that's a different problem. Sometimes a slave cylinder can be repaired with a new seal kit, take it off and have a look, if the seals are perished or look "naff" you could try a kit; if the bore of the cylinder is scratched it'll need a new cylinder.

Im sure you will as the end of the slave cylinder is inside the bell housing.
Discotel:
Hi all, thanks for the replys, it must be the slave cylinder as it is losing fluid and it is running out of the bell hounsing, I think it is the bell housing anyway, plus as soon as I bleed it the clutch is ok, until it starts leaking again. I am going to change it today anyway so thanks for the advice guys
If any of you are going over Bures tomoz I will see you there, I will be in a G reg Disco1 3dr in red.
Thanks, Terry

Dead right Richie, so it does, that'll teach me to rely on memory :oops: I'm obviously stepping back in time to some of mi' older motors :shock:
Having had a crawl under the lad's Defender today there' a liberal coating of every known LandRover fluid, methinks I'll be doing more than clutch cylinder. Better start reading the manual.
Best of luck with the Slave Cylinder Discotel, hope it solves the problem.
