Hi everyone,
On my 1989 Audi 100, the clutch slave cylinder is leaking occasionally. I had the problem twice now, where I had to check the brake fluid level regularly for a few days and re-fill from time to time. At the time, a bit of brake fluid was dripping from the gear box. After a few days, the leak stopped again. Currently, it's not leaking.
It seems I have three options:
1) Just flush the whole system (brakes and clutch) with new brake fluid and otherwise wait and see.2) Replace the clutch cylinder with a new one (third-party)
3) Buy the seals for $2 and put new seals into the clutch cylinderI need to flush the brake fluid anyway, since that's probably not been done for the last 5 to 10 years.
How difficult is it to take the clutch slave out? Is there a procedure anywhere on the web? I didn't find anything except someone mentioning that there is a pin which is difficult to get out, but that was on a Turbo-Quattro.
I would appreciate any recommendations on what best to do in this case.
Thanks a lot,
Christoph
