John, not to make work for you.....but you want to keep an eye on the level for awhile just to make sure nothing is leaking.

The slave doesn't telegraph a leak very well via visual inspection. The master does it fairly well. On the master if you look behind the mounting spacer, the side against the firewall, you might see it out lined in fluid sometimes. Also, inside the car up where the push rod comes thru the carpet backing gets wet when the master leaks.

Over at Bill's site there are some useful diagnostic tips on what to look for & where to look also.


Tom

Like tom says it will leak down your fire wall if its the master. And if your real unlucky like I was it will squirt on your foot inside the car. But if the slave is leaking inside the bell housing you won't see it right away. It will eventually work its way down to your flywheel inspection plate and then you'll see it leaking out.
