Yellow Brake fluid? That would be a leaking clutch slave cylinder if that's what it is. Check your master Brake reservoir and see if you're loosing fluid!

I know the clutch line connects with a C-clip. Maybe check that.

If not, there is a 10mm bleed valve where the line connects. Check that. Also check where Steve said :-)

There's fluid in the reservoir, but the front is on ramps so it's not an accurate reading.

I'll check tomorrow when it's not on ramps. My brake fluid is yellow. I hope it's not the slave cylinder...might as well get the whole clutch and flywheel done at the same time, right? <sigh>

Thanks, Steve.
