Ok Thanks to all who have responded to my leak, now i know the following:

1. The resevoir which Haynes say is both Clutch and Brake is wrong and is ONLY brake.

2. I know that both front and rear brakes are seperate and if one fails the other works.

3. I have checked everywhere for the leak but its worth jacking the car up and having a good look-safely!

4. Found the leak. It on the rear passengers side. I followed the pipe backwards and it seems to go through a braket/conection 3/4 way down towards rear passengers wheel where it goes into what looks like a rubber pipe ( or it may be just wrapped in rubber ) and then on into the wheel and brak drum area.

Yippeeeeee found the leak where this joins.

Now can anyone tell me is this something easy to fix at a garage or could I do it as it looks like the nut may need tightening, but I am only guessing, the pipe run looks fine its leaking only at connetcion.

I do have a photo of both sides showing one leaking and one not but cant upload here

any suggestions or advice?
