Clutch/brake fluid leak

My brake check light came on last week. Checked the fluid, and it was a little low. Topped it off. It didn't take much, so I checked it again a couple of days later. It had lost some more. ****!! So I decided not to drive it until I got it sorted out. Went to move it the other day, and the clutch wouldn't hold when I depressed the pedal. The pedal went down once, and wouldn't come up. OK, I guess I have a bad slave cylinder. Ordered a new one from Mazda Motorsports ($61 shipped ), and went to install it today. After looking under the car, I discovered that the slave was not leaking. The rubber hose between the Master cylinder, and slave cylinder was leaking. The new hose will be here monday, so I can't drive the car until then

Anyone need a 94 slave cylinder with 57K ........ I'm installing the new one.

Bummer, Adam. You finally have some time to enjoy your car and now it needs work. Murphy's Law is great, huh?

Yeah, I figure I might as well replace it since I have the part already.

Sonny, I will "try" to find some free time to drive the car later in the week

I'm working way too hard. Harder than when I was working.

I hope to have the car back on the road Tuesday. I have an appointment on Wed. to get my alignment checked. I need some more negative camber before the next autocross
