hey guys

went to the car this morning to drive to work and its sitting in a small pool of clear/greenish fluid. had to rush to the train so i only had a quick look but it seems to be dripping from the gearbox casing.. any ideas what it may be?green usually is coolant, but it could be brake/clutch fluid or gearbox?

il have a better look tonight when i get a chance, but does anyone have a rough idea what could be busted?

It seems to be the same problem me and Tay are having at the moment with the coolant leak from the heater pipes at the back of the engine. I first noticed it was dripping off my gearbox but it was leaking all the way down from the top of the engine (at the back) first.

Gearbox fluid is tranluscent red.

ok got under the car this mornin and im a bit baffled... checked coolant and it seemed fine, see in the pic more than just a drip was lost, prob like a litre or 2.. couldnt really see any leaks from any hoses thos. took it fro a drive and ive left it now so il see if there are any more leaks after it sits for a bit

on a side note (see other pic) is my clutch slave leaking? looks like it, im a bit of a noob...

Gearbox oil is yellow if its fresh, auto fluid is red (ATF), brake/clutch fluid can be yellow/green, coolant can be green/red (normally only toyota coolant is red). Its hard to tell but the clutch slave looks shiney which indicates wetness, peel back the boot and see if any fluid comes out..if it does you need a new slave cylinder. If its coming from higher then its most likely coolant from the heater hoses etc.

Now that ive seen the second picture and the way it looks to be drying on the ground i say coolant.

After a second look at the first pic the slave looks to be new too LOL.

    • BTW, the reason I came in here to "update" this list was that the Garrett G Series II range have been released and I've updated the list with their flow details if you're curious to check how they fit with previous Garretts and other brands The G-Series II G35 990 looks like a banger...
    • Hi all, I thought I'd put one of these references in here before but it seems I haven't - not sure how many people are actually using this place still but I feel like there are guys lurking about who might find this reference useful or interesting.  A lot of the time people don't catch key details or even fully understand how compressor maps work - or don't even look at them and just go from heresay about deciding how different turbos may compare, but I've been putting together this table over the years as a quick reference to get a gauge of how certain compressors compare to cut down the time that can be wasted looking around aimlessly. * This relates purely to compressor flow, so won't necessarily reflect the outright capabilities of these turbos as the power potential also comes down to the turbine side.  If you understand this, you should be able to use this 😃 * The inducer and exducer size listed are the mm of just the compressor wheel * The values under the "psi" headings are "lb/min airflow" and reflect the maximum airflow that compressor supports before it's efficiency dips under 65%, or it reaches it's maximum speed - whichever comes first. Any questions, or requests for other turbos which the compressor map is available for then let me know 🙂
    • And what you pay for a pack of 8 bolts and nuts at Bunnings, will land me 200 of the same nuts and bolts from a fastener shop.   M12 * 1.25 IS a standard. It's not like ordering M12x1.25 and hoping the thread pitch is right. Unlike ordering an ounce, will get you 4 different amounts depending on which ounce someone takes it to be. Your issue is a supply issue.
