I noticed a burning smell a few weeks ago shortly after getting my clutch swapped. Yesterday, I happened to notice that the fluid in my master cylinder resivour was low, I crawled under my 7, and found clutch fluid all over the damn place!!!!!! WTF!? Any ideas on how remedy this?

 

Hmm... Maybe, have a friend press the clutch in (to pressurize it), and try to see where the leak is coming from.. If you're lucky, it's just the little line connecting the master cyl to the slave cyl.. It's pretty cheap to get a SS replacement line. (mazdatrix)

It's almost certainly the slave cylinder. I put a new one on when I changed my clutch to assure that there would be no problems.

Try MComp for about $35.00 for an OEM cylinder.

 

what does clutch fluid look like? what color is it?
i am leaking SOMETHING.. smells like gas.. there is a puddle of liquid under the fan belt. it has a darkish brown black color.. it doesnt smell like motor oil... =\ could it be?


i HATE LEAKS!

 

The fluid is goldish, but darker than oil. It has the viscosity of oil, but no smell.
