internet slang=confusion btw where do you pickup stainless steel lines and fittings locally? I wanted to get a new one for my turbo if possible because one end has it where when you screw it in the oil line can spin freely while you turn the fitting so you dont spin up your line and the other has it where it only spins free like 2 turns then just starts wonding up with every turn..

on the slave right near the front engine mount youll find the cylinder. pull back the rubber boot to check for fluid leak. keep in mind when you bleed you have to add fluid so you dont bleed it all out. id spray the connections by the accumulator with wd40 for a day or two before removing it it might be rusted

amazon i found is like 3x as much as goodyear rubber on 60. Any1 know if they carry SS at goodyear? And I got under the car today first time ive been able to jack it up for the last couple days and everything was wet with different things such as oil from when we had the oil leak with the turbo and all kinds of crap just coated under the car so I wiped everything down going to check for oil leaks just to be sure however around the boot everything was coated in road grime from rainy days too so it was very hard to tell. Im going to wipe it all down really good later let it all dry a little hopefully it doesnt rain drive it around a little and check everything. the road grime was just coated though so i couldnt really do a whole lot. I saw some kinda fluid but I wasnt able to tell if it was brake fluid for the clutch or oil because everything was black and nasty lol so well sell but i really need to get this fixed asap advance offers a 1yr warranty on the slave for $32 and $72 for the master. As far as I see there is no leaking from the inside however ive heard the master can ?go bad without leaking?

if you dotn pull the rubber off the slave you wont see fluid. so its prolly oil from the leak you had. you have to physically take your hands pull the rubber condom off the slave cyl. stick your finger in and take a look with a flash light. unless of course your slave is shot to shit and fluid is spewing all over.

The rubber I did pull back if your rerfering to the big ribbed rubber piece on the slave. Its just the whole outside was coated in shit so i didnt think it was worth even trying to see and just popped it back into place. what i dont understand is if i have a leake wont i be loosing a decent amount of fluid everytime i pump the clutch pressure back up?

Yes, you would, just depends on how bad its shot. I'd replace them both now if I were you.
