I had problems a few weeks back when my clutch pedal was sticking to the floor and not returning. Realised that the reservoir was low empty so filled it up, pumped the pedals a few times and it was OK. It's now been to the garage and they found some residue around the master cylinder so have changed that. I wasn't 100% convinced by this as I would assume there would either be a noticeable amount of fluid in the footwell or under the car. I am however still losing fluid. Took it into the garage on Friday and asked them to look at it again - they have pressure tested the system and also had a check over everything to look for leaks and can't find anything. They called to tell me as such and I went to collect this morning but now the clutch pedal is back to the floor and the reservoir back to low levels. The strange thing is that the car has been left twice for 3-4 days over a weekend and not been driven and has leaked. I can top up the reservoir and then drive it and don't lose a drop. With the amount lost you would expect to see something somewhere. I've looked through a fair few different forum posts on various site and can't find this particular issue.
If it's not the slave then the only other thing I can think of is there's an issue with the brakes but then I would assume that the levels would drop below the minimum and I would suffer brake failure too?
