Hi Earl,
Just curious, if you're stumped with the cause of the leak, how can you
blame the gasket?
Cheers,
Greg

The clutch m/cyl. developed a fluid leak. Believe it of not, what started
to happen was the fluid in the brake (outer) part of the reservoir dropped.
Before anyone states the obvious - calls me a 'drongo' - that the reservoir
outlet pipes were reversed, that was absolutely not the case. It was
checked multiple times. For some reason, somehow, the aftermarket gasket
caused that to happen. We're still trying to figure that one out! (when I
say 'we', a couple of very knowlegeable British car professional mechanics
were consulted).
So the clutch master cyl. was repaired with a kit, and the original reervoir
gasket was re-installed -for now. This was last fall, and the car has not
been driven much since.
If any of the list members would care to hazard a guess as to why this would
have happened, take your best shot - we are totally stumped here.
