I have not been driving my car much lately as I have to replace my clutch slave/accumulator due to migrating fluid but I noticed a leak from the driver's side rear wheel or driver's side exhaust manifold. Not a huge leak but it does show on the floor. When I touch it it seems a bit oily but I have no idea what colour it is.

Checked pentosin level in front reservoir (MIN even after around 300 km since last syringe fluid transplant), checked pentosin level in rear reservoir (perfect). My coolant level is OK. Engine oil level is OK as well.

I am seriously going nuts here. My mechanic took a look underneath and it does not really give any hints. It is ridiculous. Is it possible that due to broken clutch slave/accumulator while the fluid migrates it may also leak from that area there in the back (on the opposite side of the rear pentosin reservoir??)?

Any ideas?

 

Slightly off topic

What are the dangers of driving a car with a bad slave/accumulator?

I'm just learning how this set-up works

 

Pentosin is flammable so I guess there is a risk of fire.

 

Color will tell you the answer. Put a tray on the floor at the site of the leak, and place a white paper towel in the tray. Pink = antifreeze, so you look for coolant overflow, cracked reservoir, bad radiator cap. Green = pentosin, you know where to look for that. Brown = oil.

Good luck,

that's probably your coolant from the ****ty over flow bottle.

 

is the leak behind the left rear wheel near under the left cat? maybe a problem with coolant expansion tank ore the hose at the coolant expansion tank?(hose clamp)
