I went to my first drift event yesterday and I had to call it a day early because of a fluid leak that was dripping on my exhaust and smoking. I got the car up in the air the morning and i thought It was an oil leak from a rear main or something but it was either brake fluid Or power steering fluid. It was clear and thin. But anyways, the entire tunnel was covered. I don't really know where to start fixing it but it was a fairly large amount of fluid. I noticed there is a little block with a bleeder screw that goes to the slave cylinder and that soft line had fluid too.

Go guys anything I can do to prevent this from happening again?? No one likes fires.

Check the bleeder valve it might be loose. But It seems like brake fluid. Just a quick check wont hurt..

S-Chassis dont use Power Steering fluid, It uses ATF, So you have a Brake/Clutch leak unless you have been putting power Steering Fluid in the PS so then your Rack and Pinion is probably leaking.
