Vehicle is a 2006 fiat ducato.
I had a new clutch kit fitted just before christmas, but I have since noticed that when cold, the clutch pedal returns slower, not to the point of not working properly, but if I take my foot off the pedal quickly, I can watch it come back up a second later. So not exactly terrible, you just have to lift your foot off the clutch a tad slower, but when it is warm it is instant.


Any ideas?


I am going to try spraying some lubricant on the pivot point of the pedal just in case it is that, but I don't know if that would get better when warm?

To add to this, just took a picture of the pedal assembly. There is an oil residue around the clutch. I am unfamiliar with the workings of the pedal to be honest, so I'm not 100% sure what I'm looking at - but I would guess it is the seals of the master cylinder letting some oil seep out? Doesn't seem to be leaving a patch on the floor.?
