Good morn,

Your motor car isn't all that old (only about 30 years if I recall), so the chances are the metal parts are fine and it just needs new rubber bits. If it were me I'd try a rebuild kit like this one for a tenner:

There will be a similar one for the slave if you suspect that is leaking as well.

The cylinders are pretty easy to work on once off the motor car.

Yeah defo considered but the reservoir is loose

I would certainly try tightening that before you spend £100 on a new one!

Yeah will do - looked to be a rivet each side when I looked

It might just be the seal from the bottle to the cylinder.

Compared to most cars the master is not that expensive https://www.classicswede.co.uk/RHD_C..._20309885.aspx

and teh slave is very cheap and easy to change https://www.classicswede.co.uk/Clutc..._20715485.aspx

most cars now are gearbox off to change the slave cylinder!

So I think it’s defo rivets and not anything I can tighten

So I think a new one is the easiest option

The classic swede one is exactly what mine looks like

Any other options?

That is not so expensive: £100 to fix the whole problem. I think if it were me I'd have had a go at the repair kit for a tenner first (but then I'm a tightwad), but I see the OP's point of view.
