Clutch slave cylinder

jimbob600

Just changed the slave cylinder for the second time, the first one failed after 1500 miles.
When i finally bled the clutch it all feels fine not a drop spilt either, pulled the car out of the garage and there was a pool of brake/clutch fluid just under the middle of the car but non missing from the resevoir, went for a good drive and still fine all the gearbox housing dry as a bone.
I dont fancy stripping this all again but does anyone have any ideas where its from im puzzled ????

just keep an eye on the fluid level

just a thought, when bleeding the clutch back up with the easy bleed could fluid have dripped from the bleed screw into the gearbox housing? and is there a drain for it? I noticed a long bolt at the very bottom where the bell housing meets the engine block could this be a drain of some sort?
Not a drop of fluid has been used (i even marked the resevoir) but i got a few drips from there when the car was jacked up this morning sorting another problem out and ive done quit a few miles since doing the cylinder.
any answered are grateful, cheers, james

it might just have been the fluid from when the slave cylinder failed dunno..
