So, the other day I pulled my car out of the garage and noticed brake fluid on the ground. I was going to check it out myself, instead I just took it to the dealer. I get a phone call about 30mins after I dropped it off. The service advisor told me my slave cylinder is leaking. I wouldn't think it would go bad after 18k miles. Hopefully the fluid got on my clutch so they have to replace my clutch, anyways has anyone experience this?
unfortunately yes im on my 4th tob now still scratching my head but nobody has a clue :oops:

My Exedy throw out bearing took a dump around the 4000 mile mark. I'm running the Exedy stage 3 clutch and lightened flywheel, and no issues with those parts. Just swapped in an OEM throw out bearing and the car is happy again. Of note though, hope it holds better because getting the transmission in and out with Kooks 1 7/8" long tube headers is a royal PIA.
