the external clutch slave on my heep has been leaking for the past week. i finaly took it apart to see whats wrong. the bleed screw has rusted through and now there is nothing to hold back the pressure. the head of the screw has also rusted out and i can not get the allen key in there.
so yes its leaking through the bleed hole. my question is can i cover the bleed hole with some kind of epoxy? i cant get the bleed screw out to replace it and to buy a whole master slave for this kind of leak seems unreasonable.
can anyone help me out here? sorry for the long post.

 

bite the bullet and drill it out. tap n die a new hole. i had that happen to me when doing my 90 XJ brake job. had to run a new line from the splitter over to the rear right wheel too.

 

i was afraid of that answer. the slave is plastic tho. id feel like id break it tapping into it. what size bolt did you put in?

 

Just replace the whole thing, being cheap will only leave you stranded in the middle of nowhere.

 

i am replaceing the whole thing. ive been trying to get around this for 6 days and its not working. im just wasteing time trying to repair the old one.
