Well last night I was racing a del sol and I fucked up my clutch going into third gear. I had the car towed home and looked at it that night, and there was some fluid on the base of my oil filter. So I filled up the resivior that night and in the morning I cheked it to see if it was leaking. Still full. So then I started pumping the clutch and my friend was looking at the area and he noticed there was more fluid at the base of my oil filter. So I'm hoping I might have not meesed up the clutch itself, but put a leak in one of the hoses.



Now my question is which hose is it? If it isnt actually a hose what else might it be?



Thanks in advance.

It is not really a hose. If you look on top of the transmission, you'll see the master slave cylinder and there is a little piston like object that had popped out. I just had this problem, unfortunately though I have to drop my trans to put in a new clutch.

If its not the hose, then its either the slave which sits on the tranny like Houstonderk said or the master which bolts into the firewall. Both are an easy replacement. Also, check under the carpet behind the pedals to make sure the master cylinder isn't leaking on the interior side.
