Sounds like the seal has given up on the master cylinder and needs replacing. You can get an overhaul kit comprising of a new O ring and seal. Not a hard job to do, just clean the cylinder and remove any burring before putting in new O ring Thumbs Up

I was in there on Saturday, you need a mate to hold the clutch pedal down while you undo nut 3 on the drawing. You will need a ratchet spanner to get that off.

The lid should have a gasket, this must be to keep water out of the car, its expensive too ( £18 ) i just used some silicon seal.

Not a bad job really, just fiddley. May pay to remove the bonnet.

I was in there to change the pedal spring.
But looks ok to take part, all obvious and fairly easy to get to.

Job done Thumbs Up Wasn't that hard, more awkward than technical. Took the bonnet off for easier access. Chuffed with myself Cool Life is not a rehearsal!

About 3hrs. Took a while to get the pedal box out- awkward. Took a while to bleed and adjust the clutch, other than that pretty straightforward. Tip of the day - remove the bonnet for access. Life is not a rehearsal!

Have you done the slave too? Some advice is to do both as they wear out at the same rate
