I did have some trouble with leaking fluid after having my clutch renewed at the end of May, but it stopped after almost a week and everything was fine. The levels were correct according to the mechanic at the garage.
I noticed a few days ago that there was fluid leaking again and this time it is worse than last time. Probably just fast drips that pool on the under tray and then run onto the road.
The fluid is clean (like new), which makes me think it is either gearbox oil or clutch fluid. (Is it the same stuff?)
I have checked the clutch master cylinder and the level is fine. But it was also fine when my clutch went and allegedly, the slave cylinder had lost all of its fluid.
About 3 days prior to noticing the clean fluid under my car, I did top up the engine oil. I was very careful and am 100% sure I spilt none.
Is it possible if I put more oil in than I should have done that it could find some way out, like an overflow?
I doubt that is possible and I would also expect the fluid to be brown / black if from the engine, even though I had recently topped it up with new oil.
It goes back into the garage on Thursday originally for an MOT but now also to check this fluid leak. I have not dared use the car since finding the leak.
