Hello...about 1/2 a mile from home tonight the clutch pedal failed to return to normal position. Managed to crawl home in 2nd gear, but no clutch. On arrival I find hydraulic fluid sprayed around the area towards rear of battery area, and over various hoses and pipes at the back of the engine in that general area. This is the opposite side to the master cylinder, which was replaced a year ago, so looks like that's in the clear. There's a flexible hose in this area, but too much fluid spread around to be sure it's the culprit. Car will be recovered to garage tomorrow. Have not heard of this as a common 9K problem. Any clues please folks?
