I've got a leak happening under my car that appears to be brake or power steering fluid. It's certainly not water, coolant, or engine oil. The leak is happening right inside the frame rail inside the drivers front tire. I've attached a picture of the area I'm seeing it come from.
Alot of reading on the forum has suggested it to. E the clutch slave cylinder overflowing fluid into the clutch reservoir causing it to overflow. I tried putting a clean white rag under the clutch reservoir to see if that's happening and I got nothing. I cant exactly see too far up there from underneath given the coolant pipe in the way. I can see wetness coming from the two clutch lines, and also from the 4 brake lines.
Hoping someone can peek at my pictures and confirm or deny before i order this very expensive slave cylinder.
That is likely the problem. The master cylinder is where the pedal is and the slave cylinder is on the clutch if I'm not mistaken. You can get at it laying down in your foot well to take a look. If it is covered in fluid it might be failing or a seal in that area is out.
check under the plastic tray in the frunk. if the reservoir is overflowing, the slave is failing. Clint Hightower sells a rebuild kit for the slave which would save you alot of money if you want to DIY. Also, the accumulator is likely dead as well...
