[QUOTE="SCGallo2, post: 16823487, member: 160791"] The bottom of the bellhousing has a small inspection hole where you might be able to detect a clutch hydraulic fluid leak from the slave cylinder; look for obvious wetness. The brake and clutch systems do share a reservoir and the same hydraulic fluid, but the aft partition of the reservoir isolates fluid to the clutch in such a way that if your clutch line ruptures and dumps all of the fluid, it does NOT empty your brake system as well. It is possible to see two different fluid levels in the front and rear partitions. The slave cylinder is the usual culprit, but you could check the o-rings on your stainless clutch line for leakage and damage first, which would not require removing the transmission. The correct length OEM slave cylinder for your application will usually offer the best performance and long-term reliability.
