one more slave cylinder question

Ok so Im still trying to figure out if my slave is leaking.
I was wondering what it would be leaking is that was the case?
Would it be trans fluid or the fluid from the master cylinder reservoir?
Thanks

I assume you mean the clutch slave - if it was leaking you would have fluid contaminating the clutch plate and major slippage going on! I can almost guarantee that if you are losing clutch fluid it is either the seal at the bottom of the reserviour which should be easy to spot - just rock the reserviour gently and look for fluid at the base - or the master cylinder which is harder as most leaks are inside the car. To check for an internal leak check under your floor mats around the clutch pedal for fluid. A rebuild kit is about $30 and it is a fairly easy job. One last possibility is the short flex hose from the slave to the steel line - it could be weeping at one of the joints. Good Luck.

Look for fluid on top of the tranny case, below the black boot that covers the rod. Look also underneath your dash, where the clutch push rod from the peddle linkage goes into the back of the master cylinder....

ok so it would be leaking the stuff in the master cylinder box right? Mine is full so I guess I just have an oil leak.
Thanks
