today on the way home on the freeway was in 5th gear (00 ek hatch d16y8) clutched down to put back in neutral, clutch pedal sank to the floor no pressure? got off freeway and i turned off the car pumped the clutch and sunk to floor and didnt come back up then i started the car and tried putting in 1st gear wouldnt go in so i pressured it in and it went in drove home parked in garage jacked up the car noticed the seal where the motor and tranny meets was leaking (right under the headers downpipe) and oil splattered everywhere under. check the tranny oil on top of the motor infront of steering wheel no oil at all. did i blow my clutch or whats wrong with it and what do i need to do to fix it? thanks h-t!

 

replace you slave cylinder no big deal its the part that pushes on the clutch fork when u step on the clutch.. replace it fill the clutch fluid resevoir and bleed the system and u will good to go

 

You may not even need to replace, Your piston might have just slipped out. Check and see if the metal piston is still there, otherwise yea, replace the slave cylinder.

 

Why is it leaking?

 

Should be a $20.00 part at a auto parts store.

 

The slave cylinder has a little metal piston that is surrounded by a rubber boot. If the piston comes out of the cylinder, the fluid can leak past it and run all over the place. The piston may have just slid out and nothings wrong. OR the seal may be bad on the slave cylinder and you need to replace. Either way, neither takes alot of time, or money.

 

Just looked on autozone, new part is 13.99 Might as well replace it and be on the safe side.

There's a picture for you.

 

thanks for all the help guys

 

yeah it sounds like your slave cylinder. There's no fluid where your tranny and motor meet, it's completely dry there. If you're seeing fluid there, it's leaking from your slave cylinder.

Also, your clutch symptoms totally indicate lack of clutch fluid... which would be caused by your slave cylinder.

 

make sure you isolate where the leak's coming from to make sure. don't wanna buy parts and still have a problem. same thing happened to me last month turned out to be the hard line to the slave cylinder had fluid going past the fitting.

 

also check the line for leaks around the area.
