What's that liquid under my car??
I've just discovered two separate stains of liquid on my garage floor. They come from the front of the car (definitely not the motor), probably just where the shifter is. As you may recall, my brakes and clutch were bled and serviced last week, after which I had the unfortunate incident with the clutch pedal sinking into the floor. I checked the reservoir with the break fluid, and that seems ok.
What's going on? Thanks,

These are the possibilities I can think of given the area (I also have an '88):
1) Brake/Clutch fluid dropping from the clutch master cylinder (pedal cluster). Less likely from the overflow tube, reservoir, or brake master cylinder. 2)Condensation from the smugglers box AC condenser (not likely at all). 3)Gasoline from the fuel pump area (this happened to me when a fuel line wore out at the fitting). What is the consistency of the liquid? If it's clear and oily, you can bet that it is brake fluid. It does not take much fluid to make a puddle on the ground, and you might not see a noticible change in the fluid reservoir.

Was the clutch slave bled as well? Even if not, I'd inspect it for leaks (it's on the front/top of the trans cone).
