Hi Guys,

I noticed by accident this afternoon that there seems to be a little oil or something like oil on the back of my clutch pedal. Got a bit on my toe so checked and it is on the back of the pedal, and the pedal stem...and only the clutch. Could this be leading to something bad?

Thanks,

JB :)

Yep it's brake (clutch) fluid, clutch master cyl as stated.

agreed, this is definatly the problem, make sure you keep topping up the fluid until you get a new clutch master cylinder, otherwise you will find out the hard way like i did :P lol

prolly a leak from your clutch master cylinder the brake fluid will eat the paint

My bet is that this is the cause....get it fixed asap cause brake fluid can be nasty stuff and I'd hate to see what it does to interior carpet etc.

    • Ha ha, ended up going it alone.  I just sent it (in a very nervous fashion).  Once I'd released the locks and it didn't automatically start spinning out of control i felt a bit more confident.   It made some loud sounds (cracking and creaking noises) when I first spun it which got the heart rate going again!  I couldn't bring myself to leave it tipped on the side.  I feel a bit more comfortable having back right side up while it sits there. I'd get angry with your last point but you're 100% correct! 馃槄 Even yesterday I managed to distract myself at numerous times to make a bracket to fit an LED flood light off the back of the house and fix my sons pushbike.  There were other little taks nibbling at my brain for the rest of the day too...
    • Probably one of the more nerve wracking experiences of my entire life! 馃槀馃槀 The balance (centre of gravity) is out still but in a direction that gives me comfort!   It's quite bottom heavy still meaning it takes a bit of muscle to rotate it.  The plus side of that is that it wants to to go back to upright.  Better that than wanting to go all stranded turtle on me!
    • hmmm that's not ideal. This is a pretty new engine right, will be interesting if your engine guy has any theories about causes
