Couple of problems, oil pressure and clutch
Discussion
I got the Chimaera back from TrackVRoad just before Christmas. It had new valley gasket, head gasket, cams, my cat less exhaust manifold and Y piece fitted and a few other jobs sorted. What a difference! Smoother, faster and noisier.
On the way back home I noticed the oil gauge was reading 15 rather than the 30 it use to, then I saw it drop to 0. I pulled over, phoned TrackVRoad who suggested it was a sensor fault. Set off again and now it sits at 20ish, rev and it jerks to 30 then instantly back to 20ish. I hope its just a meter fault.
Chimaera managed all the Christmas runs without problem and had a rest over Christmas and boxing day. When I came to use it again the clutch has gone, no fluid. I had my local garage look at this before I had the engine sorted and they couldn't find any leak, also I would have thought TrackVRoad would have spotted any obvious leak. I can't see where its leaking. Any suggestions on how to locate the leak?
Chimaera is getting me in my wife's bad books with all its problems and expenditure

Is there any sign of any leak on the clutch pedal itself ?? If the master cylinder seal has gone then it will leak down the clutch pedal and should be visible if you stick your head in the footwell.
If they had no reason to look in there they wouldn't have spotted it ??
Have you noticed any difference in the level of oil ?? Have you lost any ??
