Clutch Pressure - Drops Every Morning

[harpster]

I have had this problem for a while now and i have been surviving by bleeding the brake/clutch resivoir with a bleed kit (ezbleed kit) the clutch used to last for 2 to 3 wks but now only a few hours unless you keep driving in city streets continuelly.

 

What happens is the clutch drops to the floor by morning or few hours.

 

I have to pump the clutch until it gets resistance so i can get it in gear and it also keeps sticking half way up when the resistance has built up. Even if i re-bleed it with the resistance it is the same by morning.

 

Also if i drive down the motorway for a few miles the clutch falls too and i have to pump to bring it back up.

 

There are no fluid leaks in the system as i have been monitoring it for a few weeks.

 

Would it be the master or slave. You all know how much of a big job it is on these if it is a slave. Can it be breather connection

 

I have bled it in reverse too from slave upto master cylinder to rectify the problem, but no luck....

 

Give your opinion before i have to spend what i aint got (credit cards) ;)

 

time for a bottle of Newcastle Brown.

If you are not loosing fluid, then my money would be on the master cylinder seals. Logic would say that the slave cylinder seals would leak fluid out of the cylinder into the bell housing causing fluid loss. Fluid bypassing the master cylinder seals would just go back into the reservoir OR possibly down the clutch pedal.
