Master Cylinder Leak
#1
Anyone have any issues with their master cylinder leaking.
I Was vacuming out the car this morning and found fluid on the floor. While checking where it was coming from I depressed the cutch pedal and a piss load of fluid came out of it.

Is there a rebuild kit for this or will I need to buy a new one?

I just had the exact same problem. Fluid ran down the clutch pedal, soaked down the rubber so much it slipped off while driving. Good news is with an oil change the bill was only $275 at the dealer. No recall on this problem as I recall (pun intended!).

had it covered through my Extended Warranty program, had the same thing happen, with the fluid on the carpet.. one thing i noticed was my parking e-brake light would flicker every so often.

Not sure about the carpet though.
Brake fluid and carpet may not be good.

Over a hundered dollars.

I had mine replaced last winter.
I think it's a tricky installation.

Pain in the ass.
