Default I think theres a leak in my hydraulics?

I had a problem with my hyrdaulics a while ago where my level kept going down, i believe it was after an engine swap.

I bought a new line for it as i thought i saw some fluid near the master/line area.

It is entirely possible that i had air in the system and it was just getting out.

For some reason... the level hasn't gone down at all recently. How can i make sure there is no leak?

Re fill it and see. I have had MC in the past blow out the seals on the inside and the boot that is in the cockpit of the car spew out clutch fluid. Yes, it is possible some air got un bound but re fill and see if anything changes.

Agreed...refil it and check again! Hydraulics in these cars can be frustrating difficult to bleed and issues with them can be hard to diagnose. If you see no loss from this point forward then you should be safe to assume that it was just air in the system escaping. Let me know if you have any further questions. Thanks,
