Checked the clutch reservoir today and the fluid was low, looked underneath and there were no obvious signs of any leakage - topped levels up and when the clutch pedal was depressed clutch fluid squirted out of the reservoir top? Also the clutch is working ok but when the pedal is pressed down it stops at the middle point and then springs up to the top. Any ideas on both of the above?

top hole is breather so vacuum isnt created when pedal pushed,some of fluid or air is been pushed back into res showing seals are poor,new one 550732G lucas one from britpart not pattern £20ish,its easier to remove pedal box 6 x bolts 13mm socket

if master cylinder was too leak it would make your pedal or back of it wet,but they can suck in air without necessarily leaking fluid,if slave was leaking it would be wet behind its gaiter and into bell housing but they hold very little fluid 3 pumps of pedal when bleeding
