Hi all,

As the heading states I have a fluid leak inside my fiesta . It appears to be trickling down the steering column and then down the back of the clutch peddle, and then drips onto the rubber mat.

I have not found the leak as of yet, so thought I'd ask the best place for advice, to see if anyone's had the same issue and how to rectify it.

Sure its coming in through the steering column? What sort of fluid is it? Given the location I'd be thinking the clutch cylinder as hydro/brake fluid goes to the pedal if I'm thinking correctly.

It does appear to be the same look and feel as the steering fluid, but I can't find the point of the leak, yet. But it's at the top and the bottom of the column.

Can't see any leaks from the front (looking at the bulkhead) as there is heat shields in the way. I think I'm going to have to strip down the dash and have a more thorough look.

Just thought I'd do a quick update for anyone who might be interested! The pic is of the leaking clutch master cylinder, looking up at it from the foot well. I decided to have a crack at replacing this myself, I got a new cylinder from euro car parts at £13.85.

I did some research on the net mostly looking at pic's of the peddle set up and cylinders. I had to remove the air box to get better access to the pipe connectors then undid the bolts holding on the cylinder, slipped of the piston from the clutch peddle, then spent the ages trying to get the flipping spring that connects to the clutch peddle off the cylinder.

In hindsight I should of removed the whole peddle assembly, or the clutch peddle, it would of been soooooo much easier and quicker, which is how it's probably done!!
