Checking the entire hydraulic system for leaks (Skoda Octavia 5E)

Inspect the following clutch hydraulic drive components for leaks. Check the brake fluid level in the hydraulic brake drive reservoir. The after-run hose between the hydraulic brake drive reservoir and the master cylinder. The clutch master cylinder. The hose line between the master and slave cylinders. Connection points (push-in and threaded connections), including in the invisible area. Executive cylinder. Remove the executive cylinder (do not open the pipeline system) and check the corrugated cover, whether the brake fluid protrudes, to do this, pull the corrugated cover away from the rod "see arrow".



If necessary, bleed the air from the clutch drive. Then carefully press the clutch pedal, holding the pedal mechanism in five different positions along the entire pedal travel for about 20 seconds and at the same time checking whether the pedal does not fall through during the delays (in five positions) itself. The second mechanic checks whether fluid is leaking from other components of the hydraulic clutch drive.
