Caught the Bug
So last night I get home from riding at my favorite mountain biking spot, and after cleaning off the bikes I go to pull into the garage. I notice the clutch pedal feels very loose and different than usual. I then notice I almost stall it getting into the garage because the clutch engagement point is now very close to the floor. I take it out for a test drive, notice it is tough to get into reverse, and notice that the pedal is spongy and consistently engages about an inch off the floor. Not good. I look underneath, and I see what looks like brake fluid coming from the area near the rear of the oil pan and coming out of the vent holes in the manual trans case (I am thinking the fluid is coming from the vent holes, but I cannot get too far up to see if it is coming from a location higher up). Not a drip, but there is also some fluid (brown/clear) on the catalytic converter hangar right next to it. Like I say, it isn't dripping out, but there clearly is something wrong. Is this a clutch slave that went out? The fluid level in the master brake cylinder looks good.
