Leaky Clutch MC. Is this common? Any seal kits?

Hi everyone.
My Clutch MC has sprung a massive leak and it seems to be coming from inside the lever housing. I haven't dismantled any thing yet, but a guess would point to the plunger seals.
Is this common?
I have looked on line, all there seems to be is complete piston and spring sets that cost £50. I'm not happy with that.

Can you just buy a seal kit and change them?

They may not have new in stock anyway but may have a sh one which they will ask £20 for plus p and p. Take it out and find what is wrong, I would guess o ring seal. I have one of those knocking about not sure if it came off a brake mc or a clutch but I would guess they will be both the same. Tek it out, diagnose the problem and go from there.

If you're not removing the adaptor , just remove the grub screw, and pressing on the spring loaded ball within will release air / fluid like a conventional bleed nipple...
