 Yesterday, I didn't even look or do any investigation when the clutch pedal
went to the floor.  I simpl assumed it was the clutch slave and master
cylinder.  Upon further review, I noticed hydrulic fluid on the side of the
wheel well inside the engine compartment on the drivers side.  I pressed the
clutch in a few times and caused more to spew.  I don't know where exactly
its coming from.  I didn't have anyone to press the clutch while I looked.
It seems like it may be coming from a small plastic cylinder that a hydraulic
hose may be passing through.  It's mounted on the wheel well near the area
where the steering tie rod goes through.  Its a black plastic piece about 3
inches long with a dyameter of about a half an inch with a hose running
through it.  has anyone had a hydraulic hose burst.  The brakes are
unaffected.  Just the clutch.  Could this fluid be coming from somewhere
else.  Thanks.
