Slave Cylinder Leaking

[neuralracing]

I had my car lifted today (installing the 3" Turbo Back) and I noticed some Brake fluid near the slave cylinder. I am guessing that slave pump needs to be replaced? Is this a common problem?

do you feel your clutch pedal a bit smooth??

Good question... Honestly it feels smoother (I have an ACT2600) but not like SMOOTH... so I wonder if its just that my leg muscles have gotten used to the 2600 or if its due to this leak.

Can you tell where the brake fluid is comming from? Is it comming out from the piston that the slave cylinder rod goes in to? It's likely that it needs replaced, do you know when it was last replaced? You could try cleaning up the brake fluid that is around the slave cylinder and see if more brake fluid ends up leaking if you want to be sure before replacing it.

I think its coming from the area where the rod goes into... so what do I buy? Do I go OEM or are there upgrades available?

If I clean it all out... just br driving the car a bit will I get fluid out there again?

If it's bad, yeah. It shouldn't take too long to be able to see more fluid starting to leak. Just buy an OEM slave cylinder if it's bad, I haven't ever heard of any upgraded ones available.
