ok. let me try to get it right.
the leaking fluid is coming from the push rod of the clutch pedal and it'll drip down on my carpet and along the clutch pedal. and also when i rock the push rod (which it's pretty loose) more oil will come out. by which i'm saying up to 1drop every 5 second!!!! and another thing is my clutch pedal has a LOT of free play (more than 3cm) and for some reason the clutch slips when you try launch on first gear or change rapidly from 1st to 2nd. and you have to let the pedal go heaps to get to the friction point. (eg every time my other mates drive it they always "keep" the clutch in too long in my car, while they say it's fine when they do it in a different car). but daily driving is completely fine. anything related to the leaking cylinder or return spring of the clutch or the clutch is worn (which i think it is because it's been running for 162 000 kms ) |

no need for a pic its the bloody master cylinder! how many times do you wanna hear it...its the MASTER CYLINDER! Fix that first and worry about the clutch slipping later.
