necrotosin Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Well I filled up my Clutch Cylinder after bleeding the clutch and about 5 days later, the level of fluid went down about half of what you can top it off with. I checked under the car to see if it was dripping anywhere, nothing. Checked the cylinder, nothing... Also checked the slave cylinder, but still... Nothing?? Can someone point me in the direction of where I'm suppose to be checking?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam280Z Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Check your left shoe. Seriously, the MC can leak out the back through the firewall into the car. Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoov100 Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Have someone hold down the clutch pedal, while you go around and visually inspect the system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galloguy05 Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 If it leaks out like a drop or 2 through the slave each time you use the clutch, you may not see anything. How old is the slave ad MC? I agree with what hoov100 said. When my slave cylinder was bad it leaked the contents of the master cylinder out completely in just a couple days whether being driven or not. When I checked the slave it looked fine until I took it completely off and looked at the seals and saw that they were shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony D Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Do people still change one and not the other? Man, I thought that went out with the internet. Talk about peny pinching tripping over dollars to save dimes. When one goes, the other is right behind it. Change both at the same time. Change both when you do a clutch job. This isn't hard. If you don't see it on the ground, it's on the firewall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S130Z Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Didn't you know, clutch fluid is like gas and oil. Those crazy garden gnomes come and drink it while your sleeping, so you constantly have to put more in. But seriously, I have seen it leak into the inside of the car from the master cylinder...just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
necrotosin Posted June 10, 2010 Author Share Posted June 10, 2010 Well I have checked the pedal itself from inside to the firewall, but I don't see any signs of it leaking from there.... I'll double check the slave cylinder later today. How hard is it to replace it? or do I just replace something simple without replacing the whole entire unit? Thanks for the feed back though.
