If you don't have one, a Bluetooth Endoscope is invaluable for troubleshooting, retrieving part numbers, etc...

picking one up at homedepot as soon as I leave here. As far as the 2x4 idea I think I'll wait on that so that doesnt possibly create more issues. My first inspection is coming up at backdraft builder next week and he said he could look into it. |

Yeah, for now just take a look at the clutch reservoir and see if it looks unusually low on fluid. Now, if you haven't been looking at the level before this (or if your car combines the clutch reservoir with one of the brake reservoirs), you won't really know for sure, but if it is just barely above the bottom of the can then you can probably guess that it's been leaking. |

The clutch reservoir is buried behind the brake booster to the outside of fender well plus a solid aluminum canister... not an easy check, raining today so no room to maneuver it in garage...SOB I forgot to go buy a scope..lol |

Yeah, I think I knew that. Well, the scope might show it better than you would expect. |
