Hello, since a few weeks i got a brake fluid leak somewhere and i since 2 days now i basically cant drive my car anymore since the clutch stays at the bottom.
here's a few keypoints on whats going on:
WITH THE CAR OFF:
clutch pedal works normally as it should, no problems
WITH THE CAR OFF AND NOT STARTED FOR A FEW HOURS:
brake fluid is not dropping when topping it up
WITH THE CAR OFF BUT HAS BEEN STARTED BEFORE:
When filling, the fluid doesnt drop?
WITH THE CAR ON:
If i depress the pedal for less than 10 seconds its it will return on its own
if i hold it longer for 10-20 seconds, the pedal with go halfway and wont come back, unless i put it back up manually
This issue happened to me also while driving, and when i hold it for 10/20 seconds, i cant also shift anymore, and the clutch biting point will be at the absolute lowest point
and the car tries to drive forward by itself with me having my clutch pedal in, but in the meantime the car also tries to stall, so the only solution for that is; turn the car off>manually put the clutch back up>i can shift again out of gear to neutral> start the car>drive away asap
other info:
- No wetness at master cylinder, bone dry
- after cleaning it all up, i found fluid drips on the bottom of the starter, a bit of wetness on the breather block thing (but that could be from me bleeding the clutch which did not help) and on the front of the gearbox itself, also a bit of drips on the ARB
I got a leon mk1 2005 1.8T AUQ, with a 02M FML 6 speed gearbox, and i better hope its not the slave cylinder since its CSC
If it is my slave cylinder leaking somehow i will get the clutch/pressure plate done too since the box is already out
here are some videos i took:
anyone got some things i could check or advice? thanks
