What is the cause of this oil leak ??
Hello,I noticed today my car has an oil leak (pentosil) under the front hood.
It's the oil from the clutch and also the servo steering.
The reservoir is complete full so the oil runs over.
6 months ago I replaced the actuator and also the front and rear slave cilinders but today it started leaking on the top of the reservoir.
Anybody has an idea what could cause this?
Thanks..

Dixie,
This is a fairly common problem. I had it with my car - a little residue around the top of the reservoir. I'm pretty sure it indicates a bad accumulator. I ended up removing the accumulator with the non-assisted clutch conversion and the problem is gone.
