Undertray off and hang on, not this again. Not water this time but hydraulic fluid.

I pulled the rubber boot off then pushed the clutch pedal a few times.

A drip of fluid.

Not much I could do about this right away other than order a replacement so with that ordered first I did the oil change anyway.

The new slave cylinder arrived pretty quick. Supplied by an MG specialist of good quality not a cheapo one.

New slave cylinder in place then a good flush through with new brake fluid and air bled out, good to go again.
