Fluid coming from clutch pedal on floor

[b17tuner]

I have searched and looked around and I think its the clutch master cylinder. Does anyone know what it might be or had this happen before?

Shifts and Drives fine... I just have clutch/brake fluid on the floor by my pedals and my feet slid around on it.

What should I replace while I fix this? Slave cyl? Lines? Speed Bleeder?

Post your questions, I will get the email notification and post back quick if I'm at my computer.

Thanks,
Brian

The reason that hydrolic lines go bad is because the brake fluid has a detergent in it to prevent rust. That eats the rubber seals and O rings in contact with the fluid. Thus you get that gross brownish black sludge from an old system. To answer your problem specifcally;
Yes you need to replace the master cylinder.
The slave and all other parts could be replaced at the same time if one was so inclined
Typically you dont need to replace anything but just the master.

Anyone know the best place to buy these?

Master: Autozone?
Slave: Autozone?
Line: RRE?
Speedbleeder: not sure..

Thanks any more info on all this is greatly appreciated!

I had the same leak. I just replaced the master as the slave was already new (I am on my second tranny). I got one from O'Reillys.

You will enjoy this repair. There is oh so much room right there!

No need to replace the hard line unless if damaged. You might want to flush it out with denatured alcohol to clean and dry it.

Ordered Master for 45 bux shipped.

Autozone has the slave for 20 so I will pick that up if I need it.

Thanks fer the tips so far.

Dumb question... but do the cap come off or is it just this big of a bi***? My clutch fluid reservoir cap will not come off.

I assume the 2G cap works like the 1G cap
It doesn't thread off it twists and pulls off.

They're a bi***. GENTLY use a wide screwdriver to pry between the little ears at the top of the resevoir and the bottom of the cap.

That’s what I was doing. What a whore, I was scared of breaking it so I stopped and asked. I received my clutch master cyl already today from nopi.com. 45 bucks shipped. Looks good I will see how hard it is to install soon as I get my accord winter beater registered and insured so I don't have to rush my car anymore.

Oh yeah, Thanks to: Defiant, Steve, RamenPride, nine5raptor, and realhp=turbo.
