What is this
Its connected to my Clutch master cylinder and its pretty close to the Oil filter. Its leaking and causing my clutch fluid to run out and my pedal keeps dropping to the floor. I think its a Clutch slave cylinder but i'm not sure.

rebuild kits for both cylinders are pretty cheap at AutoZone or O'Reilly's. rebuild both while you're at it. also check the hose. Mazdatrix has a braided steel hose that's cheaper than the OEM hose.

Whichever route you go, it's a pretty cheap fix vs being stranded somewhere without a clutch (as in 'been there, done that'). I got my reuild kits at O'Reilly's and were round $7 or $8 apiece. I think the braided hose from Mazdatrix was around $20. After you fix it, I also recommend keeping some brake fluid in the car for a few days until you are sure it's not leaking anywhere. a slight leak can be temporarily remodied by topping off the resevoir until you get it home (again... voice of experience. rebuilt the cylinders, then discovered the leaky hose )

Thanks guys I bought a new slave cylinder for $23. And then bought the hose for $30. I wish I got the Mazda trix one but I had to get my car running and couldn't wait for shipping. But later on I'm gonna get that Mazdatrix hose.
