Clutch Slave Cyl.

Don't you mean the clutch master cylinder? (the one on the firewall)

I had the same problem and got a replacement from Pep Boys that lasted less than a week. I've no doubt you can get a bad one right out of the box.

Now if you really DID replace the slave cylinder ...

Sorry I should proofed my post before hitting send, sometimes the mind and the keyboard don't co-operate. Yes the master cyl. was what I meant, I'm going back to Canadian Tire tomorrow to order a new one (glad I kept the receipt) and I hope this one holds up.

Thanks

The problem with buying an after market master or slave is that ther are rebuilt. Go to the Dealer and get an OEM that is one ans safe your self some headaches especially when the next one blows out on the trail.

I still don't have a clue 'which' master or slave you changed but....

Fluid on the firewall implies the cap or cover has a bit of dirt on it allowing the fluid to come out the top. The fluid squirts up with every pedal hit and the reservoir can empty pretty fast if the cover isn't sealed tight.

I would clean everything and have someone pump the crap out of it while I watched to see if it's just coming out the top.

They can leak from the shaft seal, but then 'usually' you see the fluid inside the vehicle on the inside firewall....

Ok I have to admit I was wrong here... the fluid was from the fitting on the line from the master cyl. I think I have it tightened now but I rounded the edges a bit. I might have to buy a new line when I get the time.
