Checked the gromits, they look fine. Pressure bled and I have my clutch back...
Figured if it goes again then I'll park her.. but itll get me to work tomorrow, which is all that really matters.

Test drive, and commute to work, no clutch issues what so ever...
If anything the clutch feels better then it did before the failure (either that or I am just paying more attention to it now..) Regardless it seems the car is back in action... and just in time too as the trans install fell through on the 20v (back to next month i guess... arg...)

You got your warning signs....
If you can find the spare change, do the job anyway. 300k+ miles on a hydraulic system that was likely neglected by the PO still means you are on borrowed time.

Yea, I know... It just has to hold out 1 month...
If it can last until october 18th then I am golden. I also put the pressure bleeder and 3 qrts of brake fluid in the trunk in case she decides to become tempermental. To be quite honest I really am pretty sure I sucked in an air bubble while banking a corner.
The resevoir on this car has a very high stem to which the clutch pulls fluid from and I noticed if it isnt almost to the MAX line the stem is on the verge of being above the fluid line. I am going to keep a close eye on things to see if fluid is magically dissapearing and will keep driving the old girl till october.
