Clear liquid dripping

[M13]

Well I dont know if this would help but, The fluid is pretty thick. I dont know if break fluid is that think or not. Any imput.

DOT fluids are thin.

Ok so i went out to check the car on break. The P/S is abit low but its not leaking. I checked the clutch slave and its not leaking. I checked the brake fluid and its not either. Once i return home ill put it up on jack stands and go under. Im really hoping its nothing serious.

how much of this stuff is actually leaking?

erm, well the only thing i can think of that matches your description would be the fluid inside the oem front tension rod bushing, if you've still got the stock tension rods... its a super thick clear gooey substance , but thats not in the area in which you say its dripping from.. otherwise, the only other thick fluid would be your tranny fluid

This happened to me, I brought my car into the garage and some went on the floor and a looked over everything and then realized it was in plain view and very obvious. Check it!

a couple drops every time i stop the car. Maybe more i dont knw if its leaking when i drive it

[mcfly]

where is it dripping from?

[specialedition]

a little bit of an update here.

I put the car on up and looked. The whole transmission seems to be soaked. There was a drip coming from the train plug so i tightened that a little bit. It seems to me that they put some sort of red gunk to stop it from leaking. There is also this rubber piece on the right hand side of the transmission right under the drivers seat. Its wet aswell.

Any ideas? ill post pictures soon.

Its hard to tell. from the pictures but hopefully someone can help me

[mcfly]

that's your clutch slave cylinder you are taking a picture of
Clutch has not been slipping?

[specialedition]

it slipped a couple times today. once when i was redlining from 3rd to 4th

i just checked my piece of plastic i put under the car. its leaking from under the drain bolt now. I turned it clockwise so it should have tightened it. Well looks like im bringing my car to the garage very soon.

ok so i woke up this morning and looked under the car. The drain screw is leaking alot since i touched it. i dont know if my clutch slave cylinder is leaking inside the transmission because i dont need to fill the master cylinder.

[BrianV8]

looks like there was some sort of gasket maker around the drain plug instead of teflon or something. When you tightened it you might have totally pooched the seal. Only way to fix that is pull the drain plug, reseal it and refil the tranny with fresh fluid, and hope that was your problem

[specialedition]

indeed this seems to be my problem. I tried tightening it some more to get it to stop leaking but instead its leaking more. Im driving it to my local garage. My only worry now is that i have enough fluid in my tranny that it doesnt sieze up on me.

[BrianV8]

you have to be pretty low on fluid to seize a tranny. Yet check it out soon.
