944T clutch fluid leak - help!!

[Tony Beckwith]

Hi guys
Can anyone help me??!!!
My 86 944T is losing max clutch fluid daily (separate, circular reservoir on offside)...the clutch slave cylinder has been replaced but I'm still losing fast...
Does anyone have any ideas - hopfully not of the order of 'you need a new clutch'!!!!!.

Thanks in advance
Tony.

Hope it's a hose as the mechanic's now talking about the clutch fork and beyond...will check the hose though

Thanks again

Where is it going and why seems the next response. It could be coming from the hose or the master cylinder - but it must be visible somewhere.

The clutch forks can wear or even break and then the piston moves too far and can result in leaking.

The spindle can wear badly with indentations where the needle rollers sat over the years - but if so you can grind a flat on the oppoxite side and put them back the other way around to get more life out of them.

If the replacement was actually a seal kit fitted to the old slave cylinder - that doesn;t work for long as the bore in the housing will be worn.

Thanks Baz - much appreciated.

Mechanic now says it must be 'the metal pipe', probably a pin-prick hole somewhere...the original slave cylinder was probably fine after all - oh well, at least the car's now got a new one for £60 from PorscheShop fitted....!

Thanks again and will keep you posted!

Tony.
