i am thinking its enough to draw in air but not let any fluid out...ie fluids thicker...its been caused by my f****** induction cone rubbing against it :@
as my clutch still works but is notchy and bite is mega high...no warnings or nothing..just happened suddenly

I would have thought if the bite point is high, it isn't the clutch fluid .. that would mean the bite point was nearer the floor. You could try and bleed the clutch but I think it's going to be OK.
If that wear in the hose was letting air in, it would let fluid out. It might be thicker but it's under a fair amount of pressure when you push the pedal down. But the hose is multi-layered. There's another hose under the braiding, which is there for strength, then another over that (which is worn through). Check all the pipe from the master cylinder to the slave .. our 1.4 hose went were it joins the metal pipe but under the battery tray so it was hard to see ... but the pedal just went to the floor. Doddle to replace though as they clip in ... then it needs bleeding.
I can't be 100% but I think your clutch is worn and the self-adjustment on the hydraulics has been taken up. If it was ragged, the driver has probably slipped and burnt the clutch a few times ...

oh oh dont like the sound of that...i aint losing fluid nowhere but will check all the pipes again then bleed it and hope it makes some difference...hope it at least gets rid of the notchiness in the pedal
is it possible for a slave to be f***** but not leak ?
will get good lady to press pedal and i will see whats happening at slave end...so if slave aint pressing right that means that my problem is slave back...and if it is pressing right in then my problem is in the box somewheres ???
this sound bout right ???

Without being able to see or feel, I think it's probably the clutch release bearing or the clutch itself ...
Probably not the news you wanted ...
