clutch leaking fluid on the outside of the gearbox


I know this is a strange one, but at the weekend I had a problem where I couldn't get in gear and the pedal was at the floor. Checked under the bonnet and saw what seemed like a lot of fluid/oil around the slave cylinder bleed valve, when the breakdown guy arrived he reverse filled the system from the bleed nipple and pumped up the pressure, since then I have cleaned down the leaked fluid and pumped the pedal a couple of hundred times to see if it leaks again which it hasn't???
so the clutch bite is good, no slipping so I am think there may have been a leak from the bleed nipple or the adapter that connect to the slave cylinder on the out side of the gearbox. has anyone else had this issue? could the bleed nipple have come loose?

the car was in for cambelt and water pump last week also but that is on the other side of the engine, the paranoia in me could the garage have fiddled to get some extra work?

Ok been doing some research and this grommet/bushing seems to be a logical place for clutch fluid leak on the outside of the gearbox. it looks like landrover only supply it with the pipe, however this is a french part that fits fords! as the 2.2 is pug/ford engine its worth a punt.
I have watched a video from Youtube that explains what and why.

Sorry but the link only leads to a photo.
You could put the video link in your post. I have a similar problem.
