Where is it leaking, in the car or under it/ if under it then its gearbox off so 500 quid, if inside someone is trying to have you pants down.

If it's in the car i replaced mine on the T350 so it's a diy job and im no mechanic.
If it's slave cylinder that's a good price IMO

So is it leaking outside? Dont assume that because its not evident inside that its not. If there are no drips on the floor under the car do some further investigation.

Would be wise to do the clutch if its done 26k, TVR Power had some deals on a while back and may still be doing them on clutch changes.

Ive done the 2.If its the reserviour its a ka one and it leakes in side and underneath car to.If its the slave it leakes out the housing on the gearbox and you lose clucth,if its bad leak. Got a good mechanic for this but he is in essex .
