Jumped into the Vanagon this afternoon and went to engage the clutch and it went to the floorboard with little if no resistance. This is after I drove it home the previous night with no sign of problems. I did notice a small stain of something on the driveway below the slave on the tranny. Checked the fluid level and noticed it was low, low enough to take a small bottle of brake fluid. Pumped up the brake peddle and the clutch peddle too. Everything is working fine now but my question is what would be the most likely fix for this? A new slave cylinder or do a rebuild, which I have not done before but would give it a go. Or am I even on the right track. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
TIA,
Paul
