Default Leaking Dot 4 Fluid Beneath center of Bell Housing

What are the chances all I need to do is pull tranny and tighten nuts holding both Clutch slave lines? As opposed to having to replace the entire slave cyl?

Default Now I see it's Definitely a bad Clutch slave cyl

Just watched a you tube video of some chic replacing the slave cyl and adding a new remote bleeder:

Has to replace my slave cyclinder a few months ago. New ones not that bad price wise. Didn't see a whole lot of fluid but I knew it was gone when I got in my car and the pedal went to the floor with ease. Might be worth replacing the clutch or disk while your in there . I replaced my act 4 puck unsprung disk at the same time. Don't understand why they put the cyclinder there.

Just make sure you have a solid system. Good factory Master or good aftermarket kit. Research before you buy.

An internal slave saves a considerable amount of space for exhaust routing and eliminates the need for a clutch fork.

Still doesn't outweigh the fact I gotta pull an entire transmission just to replace a slave cylinder.

Sure it does, because GM gave exactly zero ***** about your needing to pull the transmission to access it outside of the warranty period.
