Quick advice

[doosra]

Hey guys, after some quick advice.. I'm just doing some checks on my car and wanted to ask what this fluid level is sitting quite low.. I just remember the mech asked me to check this often.. If its too low, should I get any specific brand and what level?

Sorry, I can't see it too well coz im on my iPhone. However, is it located towards the back, near the brake fluid?
If so, it would be the clutch fluid. You can use brake fluid for this, OEM is always good,
Or even the castrol brake fluid (grey bottle).

if it's brake fluid, I wouldnt use Castrol DOT4 on a S2K.. just sayin.

OEM or some other high performance brake fluid... like redline or something

If you have to check your clutch master often, it illustrates there's a faulty seal somewhere. You really shouldn't have to keep checking it.

I hope your mechanic checked your lines? If they're ok could be a leaking clutch master (you may see an "oily" liquid stream coming down the firewall to where your pedals are) or your clutch slave could be doing the same (located on your gearbox to push the clutch fork).
In which case you can either get them rebuilt with new seals or get them replaced...

I've seen an s2000 have a leak throw here, so maybe it's a common issue?

But they had to put a whole new one, of those in your photos. Pretty gay job installing it too, but you would realise if there was leak or not, if your clutch starts to just drop to the ground, and you don't feel it disengaging to allow gear changes.

is the brake fluid and clutch master 2 different things.. ? on the lid, it refers to brake fluid..

[dlai5552]

yeah, they are two different holders, but same fluids.

ie. the clutch and the brakes have 2 separate hydraulic systems (each operated by a different pedal), but both take brake fluid.

I've used Castrol DOT4 brake fluid several times before, even for track days. I've never had a problem.

If it dips low often, it might mean you have a leak in the clutch master cylinder and will have to go it replaced as I did.

or the slave cylinder under the car on the transmission
