My 90 Maxima has a slow clutch fluid leak. It takes about 2-3 weeks for the fluid to leak enough that affects the clutch. (travel is diminished and eventually fails) I've taken the car to my local Nissan dealer and they say they cannot find any leaks. I've already had the master cylinder replaced and upon my visual inspections I cannot find any fluid leaking. Can anyone give me some suggestions/advice on what course of action I should take next? Thanks!
Yeah. Take a look under your dash and inspect the master cylinder rod. It might be leaking though there. If the Nissan mechanic(oxymoron) is lazy they might miss this. I mean the hydraulic system is a very simple and short system. Can't be too hard to trace a leak.
