WTF?? I dare someone to be able to explain this clutch issue

[L2RTSiAWD]

Ok Everytime it pours down rain the next morning my clutch resivoir is bone dry.

Can anyone explain that?

 

[mavisky]

i'd have to say it has to do with the fact that you drive an eagle talon in the middle of an identity crisis. or maybe not.

 

[L2RTSiAWD]

Very funny...

No I have to bleed the damn system since air got in it, luckily I had some spare fluid lying around.

 

[LiquidOC]

maybe somehow water is draining into your system and forcing out the fluid, then in the morning it evaporates?

 

[autronicDSM]

it must be doing of those "magic people, voodoo people"

I want to say you have leak somewhere and when it rains, barometric pressure changes and makes the fluid leak only then. Where does the fluid leak out? There must be a puddle the next day.

No puddle but with it already at 110 degrees when I leave for work I would be surprised if it was evaporated.

I already rebuilt my slave cylinder because it was leaking out of there but only when I drove/pushed in the clutch.

Barometric pressure.

How twisted. Well, the stuff has to be going somewhere, where's the puddle?

My '95 used to love to crack the hard line between the accumulator and the slave, right at the shoulder of the flare nut. I'd imagine you've already changed over to a stainless hose there, but if not, it cured that problem for me. Strangest part was that I'd be able to drive the thing for a good fifty shifts with the crack in there. It always got me home.

Even if it did evaporate/drain out somewhere, there still should be a stain were it leaked.

Have you looked by clutch pedal at the master cylinder? That is were my 95 leaked at.

 

[autronicDSM]

Could be your drain valve too.

I ended up changint the slave as well, still leaked, then changed the master, still leaked, and then found a crack as they said earlier, just changed to stainless steel line.. solved all sticking problems and leak issues.
