Re: Clutch Fluid

The clutch slave has blown or the line is leaking. You bleed by rapidly pumping the pedal. You may be able to recover enough use to drive it somewhere, but if the leak is massive, it's not gonna happen. Have somebody pump the clutch while you watch under the hood and see where it is leaking from. It's going out onto the exhaust manifold or pipe, sounds like. Just follow the smoke. If it appears to be coming from the transaxle's motor side, it's the slave cylinder that blew. As you pump it, watch and add fluid before it empties out, to keep from getting more air in. In this way, you might get some action from the clutch. If it leaks from the master cylinder on top, that's a pretty easy fix.
