My Stilo has been good as gold for quite some time, but now it looks like I may have an issue..
Backstory:
About a year ago, I drove about 50 miles, and then did some city driving, at which point I lost my clutch pedal. It started going hard, and then went down to the floor and stayed there. (Still with drive though)
Turned out that the fluid level had dropped.. after a top up, everything was fine again.
Since then, I've been keeping an eye on the fluid level, and it has stayed there at max, no issues.
This weekend, I set off for a local festival. (Boardmasters for those interested! Jamiroquai were incredible )
Checked all of my fluid levels the night before.
As I got there, I was in fairly slow traffic for half an hour. Just as I got there (luckily in the parking field!), I felt my clutch go hard
Luckily it came back enough for me to park. Checked my fluid, and yep, down quite a bit, an inch or so down the header. (Must be around/on the min)
As it cooled down that night, I was able to drive home ok.
Any ideas what this could be? It seems really strange that it's not a gradual leak of fluid. It went a year between these times without loosing any, but then decided to loose a lot in half an hour of traffic.
I certainly had a false sense of security from the last year of it being fine! I'll be keeping some fluid in the boot...
