I’m guessing it’s coming out the back and running down the pipe?

That'll be the seals in the master cylinder.

Definitely classic signs of the clutch master cylinder seal leak.

Whole new system is easier to bleed than with a rusty old slave. It would be a pain with new master and slave goes soon after.

As the man says do it all at once other wise sometime soon another part will fail, get a quality master and salve as the cheap ones are pants.

I fitted the cheap ones, a year later and no problems. Use it every day as well.

Go Delphi. Too much of a pain if the cheap parts give up on you unless Spannering is your alternative to the Pub.

Dont buy heap parts, OEM are not expensive, also dont be fooled into thinking a new master means the slave will fail, it wont. Just buy a quality master and fit it.
