update: found the leak! well at least I hope it's the only leak....leaking from upper radiator hose coupling that goes into the radiator, think the O ring that goes inside the coupling took a crap and no dealership parts departments open today....on top of that now I have to burp the system again once I get everything in order....what a pain lol

There is a tool I saw on one of the Sunday fixit shows. It's a little paint pot with a wheel to apply the color. Jack the wheel up, spinit it slowly and apply the paint.
I'd be willing to bet your local automotive paint shop has, or can get one. Your other option is a narrow brush, a slow-spinning wheel, and a steady hand. Kirk B. |

I need help because I keep hearing two different answers to one important question. The fluid in my clutch master cylinder is black/brown. I've heard that it's a sign of the CSC failing and it needs to be replaced but I've also heard that it changes colors when the fluid boils and hasn't been changed. Clutch fluid has never been changed as far as I know and the car has 30k miles on it. What do you think is more likely? I'm going to change the fluid either way

While you're at all of this, add some heat sleeve to the line that goes to the CSC.. it runs right by your exhaust manifold.

Change the fluid and see what happens. I would suggest to suck the old fluid out of the reservoir, wipe the nasty out with a paper towel that doesn't leave lint, refill and gravity bleed it. I use Motul RBF 600. It has been working great. You will need to change the fluid again at the next oil change/3000 miles.

The dirty fluid is from the OEM CSC seals letting go. Unfortunately it's very common for this tranny. I lost mine at 1,200miles on the car. The OEM replacement lasted until I replaced it as part of my turbo build at 43k.
If you are emptying the master cylinder then it's highly recommended to replace it too. It's basically a one time use item. |
