Possible slave cylinders leaking

Post by GeeGee »

Just got my car back from the repair shop lastnight :cheers:
Was driving fine, only drove it home though as it was late and I had somewhere to be. Was looking forward to driving it today, but when i turned it on, i had 0 clutch resistance. I rolled it onto some concrete so i can check for leaks. The clutch fluid tank is empty, and there are fluids dripping from 2 places near the mid line of the car. One leak near what I assume is the gearbox, and the other further down near the middle of the car. Are these the cylinders leaking?

Nevermind. Going to argue with the repairer/insurance till they fix it all. It came back with extra scratches and a dent around the side/rear, Coolant spilled through my boot (even though i don't have any bottles of coolant in there) and the front bumper is not aligned properly.

I did pay an extra $420 for them to bog up and repaint my roof. That part looks great, about it though.
