If the pedal is nice and firm, not really, good practice to bleed but if your not sure what your doing could end up with no pedal at all.

Must be a reason though why it's used some fluid??

Have you found the cause of the fluid under the airbox??

No, can’t find the cause this far.
Fluid remains to the top since I refilled, no signs of leaks.
The pedal was half way down today when I got in it today but flicked it up and pedal was firm, no issues since then

Did you get any repeat of this?, ours has done this today, pedal stuck and when lifting back up there is only small pressure, no pressure when going down, hope its just the slave cylinder thats gone.

Doesn't it have a concentric slave?

If so the whole gearbox will need to come off, and whilst you are in there you may as well fit a new clutch.

I would be tempted to change the master first as it will be a much simpler job.

Get it checked, my wife kept complaining it was happening in her Polo, I couldn’t replicate the fault, but took it to local Indy (used loads of time). After examination, confirmed it was the slave so Gearbox out - got a new clutch at the same time due to mileage - seemed sensible.

Ive topped up the brake fluid and the clutch is working again, seems I have a leak, and probably from the slave ffs, has anyone changed there clutch to an uprated one?, might as well as its mapped stage 1

The person who invented concentric slave cylinders should be shot.

Who in their right mind would put a part like that in a place that requires the gearbox to be removed when it fails?
