Leak from clutch pedal

[surf808]

I was wondering if anyone had a leak from their clutch pedal. Its coming from where the pedal pushes the cylinder right under the dash. Sorry I can't be more descriptive.

Why not take a picture or find a diagram to illustrate?

Or crawl under the dash with a good flashlight and see what is broken.

It sounds like the master cylinder. Takes about 45 minutes to replace.

I will be getting a picture of the leak later tonight.

BruceH is right. The SVT Focus is notorious for this - in that case, it's always the clutch master cylinder.

Here is the picture of the leak. Is that what is leaking? Is this an easy fix that you can do on your own?

Looks like we have a winner.

That's the master cylinder. It shouldn't take over an hour to change it. If you are fairly handy it will take about half that amount of time. Just accept the fact that the pedal assembly has to come out in order to change it. I spent a good deal of time avoiding taking the pedals out and there just isn't a way around it.
