clutch fluid 120-130

posted by  someone claiming to be Karl on  Sat Nov 22 11:01 CST 2003 [RELATED]

I have a 1964 Volvo 122S. The clutch fluid is needing to be refilled about every two weeks. The clutch slave cylinder has been replaced with a new one. I have NO leaking around either end of where the hose connects to the master or slave cylinder. Anybody have any ideas about this? Thanks Karl

If it's not the connections that leak, what about the master cylinder itself? The fluid has to go somewhere...

You guys were right! If I had only looked inside the car I'd of seen the oil leaking behind the carpet. Thanks for your time. Karl

Thoroughly remove all traces of brake fluid, that stuff eats paint for dinner (if it hasn't already).

Karl;

If fluid is leaking, but cannot be detected at the cylinders or plumbing, the only other place it can be going is past the master cylinder seal, and into the passenger compartment (and under the mat/carpet)...unless you have a portal to a hole in the space-time continuum in your car, in which case you might want to contact the patent office.

Cheers
