Has anyone else experienced this problem?

My '87 S4 has been leaking from the slave cylinder. I bled the clutch fluid thinking I might need to replace both master and slave and I noticed that the leak was coming from the bleed nipple itself. Fluid dripped down and around the oil filter and there is a tiny puddle right where the oil pan is and the driver-side wishbone.

It's a little bit annoying when I have to top off the slave every week or so and keep a catch pan under my car during the days I don't drive her. Any suggestions of how to fix this or where I can get a replacement bleed nipple?


Thanks guys.

take it off and go to parts place to match up. they usually will have a good assortment. Take a peek in slave to make sure its not messed up looking

Try to tighten the nipple. If that hasn't worked than try to bleed the line(air may be pushing fluid out). If that doesn't work you can deal with it or...

Get a rebuild kit.
I've learned that if one part goes, it all goes.
Local car shop places have it, or in my case they have to order it and wait 2 days for it.

Hope I helped!
