Hey Guys, Went 4x4 up in the hills around Perth for the day and had a few heavy knocks,
Drove home with out any issue except of a new whirring sound that didnt stop when the clutch was depressed, and the brakes were pulling to the right a bit, thought that some bearings might be buggered or something similar. Got home with no other issue.
Next morning went to take the car to get cleaned and no clutch, the pedal depressed straight to the floor, looked underneath and the boot seal had gone on the slave and there was about 5mm max in movement of the slave rod. Also noticed some fluid on the inside of the engine bay down onto the chassis you can see on the RHS. Theres no burst in the hose from where I can see. I would like to know what are tell tales for the master cylinder being buggered and any other information someone might have about this. I would like to attempt to fix on my own. Its a very clean wagon and would like to keep it up and running. The clutch is also boosted so maybe there is something there also.
HELP :( Cheers
