brake fluid soaked in carpet

[merrrr]

so the other day i noticed my drivers side carpet was a little greasy. i hav cleaned it 4 days in a row assuming it was from the mechanic sitting in my car. my brake fluid levels have been going down a rediculous amount and at the same time the carpet is getting more and more soaked. what could possibly be leaking where it would be soaking into my carpet... you would think it would drip onto the driveway but there were no spots under my car

Probably your slave cyl leaking. Remove the knee pad, look where it's coming from and replace...

[merrrr]

well i did replace the original clutch 200 miles ago and my car has 143k miles on it... so maybe the slave cyl is shot

[Jean]

Should have replaced the slave at the same time, they are cheap....

[merrrr]

fuck... whatever i guess ill start ripping it apart tommo

[truekid]

it could be the master cylinder's plastic peace that connects the hose coming from the brake reservoir to the master cylinder. its a little piece, mine was so brittle and it came loose..

That is either a leak in the clutch master cylinder lines or a leaking master cylinder.

Clutch MASTER cylinder would cause this, Slave is inside the bellhousing, and cannot leak on the carpet
