Wet Clutch pedal
My Next door neighbor called me over to show me an oily substance on her shoes and where she thinks it came from, its a 26 year old defender and the clutch pedal is drenched with a fine clear oily substance, but i could not see where it was coming from, i think this weekend i will give it a clean up and check fluid levels..

That will be the clutch cylinder. Best to change both, slave and master, as they have both done the same amount of work. The fluid will be brake fluid, so be cautious where it ends up

So am i right in saying this can be replaced (the seal) instead of the whole master cylinder.

You can indeed replace just the seal but its a false economy as the bore of the cylinder will be worn causing the new seal to wear rapidly.
Do it right do it once. Thumbs Up 2005 Td5 90 XS

Best replace the slave cylinder at the same time. Steve.
