Guzzling Clutch Fluid

At the moment my car is guzzling clutch fluid to the point that I have to fill it up every weekend because it is almost empty. There aren't any signs of leaks or drips under the car or in the engine bay.

So my questions are.....where would this leak likely to be? and where is all this clutch fluid going?

Where is the slave cylider on these things.. Sounds like its inside the bellhousing..

On my T56 6 speed there is an inspection plastic plate that runs vertical on the back of the flywheel side of the gear box.

You might be able to see if there is fluid being flicked around by looking through it..

Did you check the inside of your car under the dash / clutch master cylinder?

Bugger, my clutch slave cylinder is leaking :sleepystuff:

So I've just ordered the Mal Wood option 1 clutch kit for a T5 and all should be good when fitted.
