Re: [Peugeot-L] vanishing brake fluid

That's it! The clutch master is leaking onto the floor under the dashboard. It looks like it is pretty hard to get at for repair/replacement. Any tips? Is there any source for one new or should I try to rebuild it? What's the best way to clean up brake fluid? Nick
