It is possible for it to fail the way you describe. Fluid just leaks past the piston.
No Clutch Pedal Pressure
Hey Guys,
It's only until now, after owning my SVT for 2 years, that I haven't been able to find something on here that i need help with. Love the site.
I've read numerous different subjects on the matter of the clutch master cylinder failing with obvious symptoms of brake fluid on the pedal. I recently lost pressure in my lines after trying to start my car 50+ times when my starter had a bad connection while I was stranded out in BFE. I researched the matter of our clutch system and at first I assumed it was the infamous Master Cylinder but upon further inspection, I have absolutely no sign of fluid inside the cockpit but when removing the MC i did notice fluid around the lower clutch line.
In a nutshell: I want to know if anyone has had their MC fail without the obvious fluid leak onto the pedal or if this is just a blown o-ring on the pressure lines that i simply need to replace. It only took 20 minutes to get the MC out so I wouldn't be bothered to do some experimenting before shelling out 30 bucks + gas to go get a new MC "just in case."
Cheers,
