Lost the clutch

Was on the way home from taking my dad to hospital and just randomly lost the clutch! There have been no slipping issues with it at all up until now.

When I got home I checked the booster reservoir and there is no fluid in it all and I can hear a distinct dripping of something onto the warm exhaust.

 

Are there any common pipes or seals that go on the zed as I'm hoping that it may just be the case and not the fact that I need a new clutch :/

 

I will get out and get it up for a look when the weather clears up a bit as it terrential here just now.

 

 

Any advice would be greatly appreciated :)

I'm hoping it's one of these 2 guys and not the thrust bearing gone through. Thanks for the quick replies, gonna have to get her in the garage and get a proper look. Wish I had access to a ramp lol.

as both said above, pipe or slave, cant see it being the thrust bearing if you have no fluid.

My slave went the other day

No fluid in res and lots around the slave

Was about £65 for the slave .2 bolts and the hydraulic pipe bolt and a bleed through

Easy job takes 10-15 mins

If your local parts store/motor factors sell or can get hold of ADL blueprint parts, its available through them. Not got the part number but I bought one a couple of years back it was about £35.
