losing power steering and clutch fluid.

[jodysutts]

Hi guys i have an issue here, every few days i have to top up my power steering fluid and every week or so i need to top up my clutch fluid.

there is obviously a leak of some sort but im not sure where to begin!
Also in the morning when i get into the jeep the clutch pedal is fully pressed into the floor and i have to pull it back out with my hand so i can get moving...
any input is greatly welcomed!!

The power stearing oil cooler under the radiator develops stress fractures at the mounting brackets, I cut mine back to good pipe and used 10mm central heating copper pipe and compression fittings to repair.
Clutch only has master cylinder, slave cylinder and pipe so it has to be one of those leaking, can't you see where it is coming from.

don't know about the steering issue, but the clutch...... I had a similar problem. Blew out the dust with an air line, beware its nasty stuff so wear a mask, then check the slave cylinder, sometimes the piston gets a leak across the seal, you'll see oil around the rubber boot, also look at the rod coming out of the slave, check it for movement........
