clutch fluid squirts out on to clutch pedal

[ejsegur]

I have a 1981 SR5 2wd pickup that is squirting clutch fluid on to the clutch pedal. It is coming out from under the dash everytime I push in the clutch my shoe gets a squirt. The part feels rubber that it is coming out of. Does anyone have any idea what I am talking about, and is it expensive to fix? Thanks

It needs a new clutch reservoir easy job pull the pin that holds it to the pedal then go under the hood the whole assembly is held on with to bolts.

Yep sounds like the clutch master cylender.

yes definitely the clutch master cylender.
Should only be around $20 from NAPA, and can be replaced in about twenty minutes.
modification_inc's instructions are right on target, remember to have a bottle of brake fluid handy

Here's a note, pull your carpet back, check your floor boards, brake fuild eat's away paint.
