Clutch fluid leaking
Ok my clutch fluid keeps continuing to leak and my boyfriend and i have checked from the master cylinder all the way to the slave cylinder and it is clean all the way to there but it drinks the fluid and is all over underneath my car. It is not going inside the car but has coated the whole underside of my car and is getting everywhere. has anyone ever had this problem and if so what could it be???? any advice would help greatly. thanks

RE: Clutch fluid leaking
My guess its comming from either where the slave cyl meets the tranny or where the soft line meets the hard line by the fuse box... depending on what model it is, I am going to guess a 99 420a(rs/gs). Which if it is, and its the slave banjo bolt leeking remove the restrictor in the slave cyl, it does wonders.

RE: Clutch fluid leaking
How would the master cylinder be leaking INSIDE the car? I've never heard of that... The only place fluid IS for the clutch system is in the master cylinder (Mounted on the firewall), in the slave cylinder (Mounted on the trans), and in the line between the 2. Therefore the leak from the master cylinder likely runs down the line and drips off either a low point or off the slave cylinder. If you have something leaking INSIDE the car that would be either antifreeze (Which means a bad heater core) or water (Which means the condensation drip line is clogged) if you have liquid inside check what it is (Antifreeze tastes somewhat sweet and the water will taste like... well... water...)
