I don't mean to insult, but are you sure you are looking at the clutch master cylindar and not the brake? There is no way fluid from the clutch could make it to the rear wheel. The slave cylinder is most likely the problem if it drips near the wheel. Replace it with a rebuilt unit not a kit.

Q: My clutch is leaking on 85 Ford Ranger. I have noticed fluid on the drivers side near wheel but not under the trans bell housing. Is the leak more likely the master cylinder vice slave?

What would make a 1998 Mitsubishi spyder gt use clutch fluid but it is not leaking out?

You can't have it both ways. If it's using fluid, then it is leaking out. If you are not seeing any on the ground or at the slave cylinder have you considered that it may be leaking from the back of the master cylinder and running inside of the car. You may not have noticed because it is going between the firewall and the carpet.


We just replaced our brake pads yesterday. Today we noticed brake fluid leaking from the left front side. What is causing this?

Expanding the calipers (when you put in new brake pads) can cause the master cylinder reservoir to overflow. Before attempting to perform repairs, make certain it isn't simply leaking out of the master cylinder reservoir. HOWEVER... If it's leaking at the left front wheel, you'll probably need to replace the caliper. Sometimes a hydraulic cylinder, such as the caliper cylinder, can become pitted and when the rubber seal of the piston crosses the pitted surface it can leak brake fluid. Simple answer, find out where it's leaking, it may be nothing, it may be something to repair.

What can a head gasket do?

Head Gaskets are a seal between the engine block and cylinder heads. It keeps oil, coolant, and pressure inside the engine. Usually if its "blown" the car cannot be driven due to lack of pressure in the cylinders. Smaller problems like a cracked or leaking gasket will be noticed by overheating, leaking of fluids and mild to severe decrease in engine performance. Since it is inside the engine usually replacing one involves removing the engine. Cost for repairs can run from $500 to about $2300

Can a Honda Accord be driven without a balance shaft belt?

yes, but supposedly it will cause the car to vibrate much more than usual. the other day i pulled my timing covers off on my 1997 and i noticed my balance shaft belt was torn in half and my timing belt sawed through its side. i would not have noticed had i not gone down their to replace leaking seals. maybe it will cause damage in long run, i noticed my exhaust had been rattling a lot lately. You also might run through motor mounts. Some people do this with mitshubishis, i don't get the purpose, but the balance shafts are designed to make 4 cylinder engines that are completely unbalanced, feel smooth like v6 and v8 engines.


How could antifreeze be leaking out the bell housing for the transmission?

You have a blown head gasket. Fix it quick. answer blown head gasket might be the right call, but i would do some additional checks to be certain. for example, is there coolant in your oil? check the dip stick to see if the color of the oil is okay or does it look like creamy coffee? a blown head gasket usually leads to water in the oil. during a recent oil change i noticed coolant dripping off my oil pan. after a quick pressure test of the cooling system it was determined that the leak was actually coming from the waterpump. point is, while it could very well be a head gasket, it could also be something much simpler as well. NEW ANSWER: There are 2 freeze plugs in the back of the engine block where the fly-wheel is, They are probley leaking coolant if coolant is coming out of the bell housing. NEUTZ.
