LeMans is just around the corner and true to form my V8V has decided to throw a spanner in the works. This happened for the last 2 years with a Noble. 1 gearbox and 1 Diff.

That is one reason for buying a thoroughbred. But it still happens. It must be me!

Anyway, I am loosing clutch fluid when depressing the clutch. Not a lot, but enough to be a big concern. It is coming through the bell housing. So it is either from inside or above.

Anyone else had a similar problem?

It goes to Bamford Rose next week and I know that they will fix it in time, but I am still a little worried.

I presume the main risk is the clutch running dry and burning out? I guess you probably shouldn't drive it on that basis? A leak is normally something simple (cracked pipe, knackered seal or some such) so I wouldn't worry about it. Perhaps ask Mike for some advice re: driving it.

All will be well for Le Mans I am sure smile
