Was under the dash putting the speedo back in and noticed a slight bit of wetness around the rubber dust boot on the clutch M/C. Pulled the boot off, and there was just a teensy smear of fluid on the

Bob, I have had similar "wetness" for quite a few years now and no failure of the M/C yet. I also use silicone fluid. Steve Byers HBJ8L/36666 BJ8 Registry Havelock, NC USA From: healeys-bounces@autox

There really should be no fluid loss at all. It should not be an expected "normal" condition. Rich Was under the dash putting the speedo back in and noticed a slight bit of wetness around the rubber

Won't the fluid level drop--albeit a little--as the brake pads wear in? Bob -- ** Bob Spidell San Jose, CA bspidell@comcast.net ** _______________________________________________ Healeys@autox.team.n

Technically, yes, the fluid level in the reservoir will drop a tiny bit over time as brake pads wear and pistons have to reach further out of the bores, but hardly enough to notice. This has nothing

I do not disagree with Rich, but will add as far as the question about leaks as described, they will generally slowly get worse over an extended period of time, not fail catastrophically. I would mon
