Ok guys, got a 3L TF Manual.
Today, I started it up, reversed it out of my very long, very S bendy, very steep drive way, and headed off to complete the 10 minute trip down the road. I arrived back home, parked the car. Got out, and noticed small brown-ish tinged drops right to the point where I push the clutch all the way in.
When reversing, I hold the clutch at the friction point, and let it roll back until it gets to a steep, straight down part, whereby I disengage the clutch and let gravity do the work.
So yeah, the droplets are fairly close together, but I'm going very slowly out, so I'm sure its not a rapid leak. The drops have brown tinge, but are more clear than anything. They're also sticky... like gel almost, but because they had dried before I returned and noticed them, I could not absorb them with a paper towel or anything. They also have no noticeable smell.
So yeah, clear drops (some with brown tinge), sticky, when I was reversing.
By the looks of things, this is the first time it's happened, I'm sure I would have noticed other times. I also noticed that water (I assume its water, clear, non-viscous, no smell, and evaporates fairly quickly) was slowly dripping, like a tap, from under both of my front mudflaps, and the exhaust tip of my dual system.
Checked under the car, no other leaks, the gel like drops were no where to be seen... only the water from the mudguards and exhaust tip.
Any help guys? Anything would be appreciated.
