Reply to "Clutch Fluid Leak"

I’m aware of cautions against DOT 5 but not any cautions for DOT 4

if the fluid is confirmed to be leaking between the gap between the master cylinder and the pedal box plate what you are dealing with is an internal bypass leak. Caused by the internal rubber cup not sealing tightly against the bore and allowing fluid to pass beyond the cup seal.

generally the resolution is a new master cylinder as rebuild kits are, at best, difficult to locate.
