Looking under the drivers seat and where the atf dipstick should be, (mine is manual) is see what looks like a grease nipple, too dark now for photo but will try and get one, looks to me like it is on part of the gearbox, I may and probably am wrong, can anyone tell me what it is attached to,lol.

Are you sure it's not the bleed nipple on the clutch slave cylinder?

Not a megga problem but there should be a rubber cover on the nipple ..

It looks like the master cylinder and nipple are both iron / steel .. if you have need to bleed the system .. be careful .. as on 'old' motors they are prone to rusting / seizing and in some cases the nipple breaking off ..!!

Although looking at your pic. again there does seem to be some 'oily' coating (hopefully NOT brake fluid) which will give some protection from the elements ..

it shares the fluid with the brake system, they share a common res mate.
