where is the clutch slave cylinder

where is the clutch slave cylinder at on a civic dx. is it near the clutch master cylinder and the brake master cyclinder, if you have a picture of it that would be great. that was replaced to a couple of months ago and if thats what is leaking its under warranty and where exactly are themp sensors?

I don't have a picture but it's easy to locate. Follow the hydraulic line from the clutch master cylinder down to the front of the transmission - it ends at the clutch slave cylinder.

great! after you've refilled the clutch reservoir, make sure you wash everything off with plenty of water and an old tooth brush - brake fluid will cause a lot of rust if it's left on steel componentry.

lo the only he has to take it back today cause he forgot to tell them to refill the cylinder reserve for the clutch thats a little low from leaking i guess,if it keeps doing it i will take it back myself and tell them to put a new one. but i didnt know if brake fluid changes when it hits the ground or not. also how do you tell if a manual tranny is going up because i checked the drain plug adn the nut to check the tranny fluid and that was fine. i am just concerned because someone said manual tranny fluid is orange and i wanted to make sure that was not leaking or going bad... thanks

you need to determine exactly which component this stuff is coming from. when the car has been standing & dripping, jack the front up so you can see underneath. do /not/ move the car before you do this!!! look upwards from the patch of fluid to identify which component has fluid on it, then get back to us.

bottom line, there's only 2 types of oil and 2 types of "wet" fluids, brake fluid & coolant. and gas of course. smell should differentiate the first two [if you're using honda transmission fluid] and taste should differentiate the last two if they are water soluble. you /need/ to do these tests for us to help you.
