Leaky clutch master cylinder on T25


..as it says, a few presses of the clutch and one drop of brake/clutch fluid will appear on the bolt which holds the master cylinder onto the bracket.
Nothing major (yet!), but every time i come back to the van there's a bit more fluid on the floor, and a bit less in the reservoir emoticon

Can they be repaired? Big job or not?
Thanks
/Dale

Yay cheers for that lilbug
GSF do the whole master cylinder for about £30 (after 10% SVWOC discount emoticon )
Could have gone for the repair kit for half the money, but need the job done quickly so a simple remove-refit-bleed is a better option.

Fed up with constantly refilling the reservoir, i went for it and replaced the master cylinder today.
An easy job in itself, but made longer by shearing off the bleed nipple on the slave cylinder, ha ha
Presumably i can get the rest of it out with a small-size screw extractor?
