Took my 2015 M3W for a short coffee sortie. When I returned I noted a 10 foot line of what appears to be hydraulic fluid on the floor. (It ate the paint on the shop floor and stained it).
I have placed the car on jacks, and looked everywhere for the leak (i.e.: master cylinders on the brakes and clutch, as well as all the hydraulic lines to the brakes and transmission bell housing. The hydraulic fluid reservoir is full. NO obvious area of leaks were noted, but I am suspecting the clutch to be the problem, as the leak came from the central area of the car.
I was somewhat dumbfounded at the throwout mechanism for the clutch, as the orifice where the slave cylinder would normally be (on the left lower side), is plugged with a rubber boot, and the hydraulic line penetrates the bell housing via a fitting through the top. Is this a Morgan thing or a Mazda thing? I am cringing at the thought of having to disassemble the engine/transmission just to fix the throw-out slave cylinder for the clutch.
Any assistance from those knowledgeable in this matter is greatly appreciated.
