Hey everyone
I too "had" the same problem with my car,
I noticed it just before my warranty exired on my car,
but i thought it was just because i had driven thru a huge puddle.
It happened again so i called my dealer. They said if its a problem to call.
Well it happened again 12 months out of warranty so i dropped in to south city mazda.I had also knoticed a strange clunk from the clutch pedal when it was pressed right in. They said it was most likely that clutch seal mentioned by everyone.
How ever they called me back and said its not that.
They arranged a suitable time for me to get it fixed like 2 weeks later and gave me a loan car (A mazda 2, which was nice) it took them 3 days to fix it.
And ever since then no leaks.
No one ever fully explained what it was, i kinda over heard them say something about "Its a crack in the firewall around the cluch causing the leak"
I know it was sent to a panel beaters beacasue it was returned with a keyring for a panel beaters on it.
But what ever it was it was fixed free of charge and the car was a long time out of warranty.
Might pay for a call to Mazda for everyone else.. Don't they come with a extended body work warranty???
