Evening all, was hoping someone can help.

After a couple of weeks of use after a full resto, I'm having trouble losing pressure in the clutch pedal. I have 're- bled the system, but I'm still having to pump the pedal a couple of times to get the pressure up.
So my question is, is there any way of testing either the slave or master cylinder, or is it process of elimination by replacing them one at a time.

Thanks in advance,

Steve

Usually if you lift up the rubber cap/boot on the end of the cylinders it will be wet underneath indicating the seals have started to go.

I've had the same issue with mine.....would let air in....tracked it down to a poorly fitting bleed nipple of the slave cylinder (of all things).  Solved the issue (short term) by wrapping PTFE tape around the thread but I will be changing mine to a proper AP one rather than the nasty copy that is there currently.

 

Yours might (as said above) just be a seal starting to cry enough...but would recommend replacing with a quality item rather than a rubbish copy.

Thanks for your advice folks, I'll check for leaks,and replace with quality parts if needed
