Hi guys,
I've recently had to replace my hydraulic clutch pipe and was now in the process of filling the clutch system again with hydraulic fluid. As soon as I fill it up from the bottom, all the fluid in the master cylinder disappears and enters the engine. I had to open the oil drain plug to get it out!
Now, I have taken out the slave cylinder to check it and when I got it out it was misplaced and sitting at an angle in the bore. I placed it properly and installed it again but no luck, the fluid was still going through the engine and when I took it out again, the slave cylinder was misplaced again. I noticed that when i have the slave in my hand and I press the clutch lever on the handlebars there is blubbles coming out from the sides of the slave cylinder.
Do you think I just need to change the o-ring on the inside of the slave or change the whole slave cylinder assembly?
Could it be something more serious? And also, can the hydraulic fluid damage seals/parts in the engine even though I got it out almost immediately?
Thanks in advance
