Hi fishnshells,

If there is a leak, you need ot get it repaired. Bleeding would not help.

Ask some one to depress and hold the clutch pedal. Release bleeder nut and retighten. Pump the pedal a few times and repeat the above. Repeat until there is no more air coming out of the bleeder. Remember to use a transparent hose to connect to bleeder nut with a collection bottle.
