hey guys

went to the car this morning to drive to work and its sitting in a small pool of clear/greenish fluid. had to rush to the train so i only had a quick look but it seems to be dripping from the gearbox casing.. any ideas what it may be?green usually is coolant, but it could be brake/clutch fluid or gearbox?

il have a better look tonight when i get a chance, but does anyone have a rough idea what could be busted?

It seems to be the same problem me and Tay are having at the moment with the coolant leak from the heater pipes at the back of the engine. I first noticed it was dripping off my gearbox but it was leaking all the way down from the top of the engine (at the back) first.

Gearbox fluid is tranluscent red.

ok got under the car this mornin and im a bit baffled... checked coolant and it seemed fine, see in the pic more than just a drip was lost, prob like a litre or 2.. couldnt really see any leaks from any hoses thos. took it fro a drive and ive left it now so il see if there are any more leaks after it sits for a bit

on a side note (see other pic) is my clutch slave leaking? looks like it, im a bit of a noob...

Gearbox oil is yellow if its fresh, auto fluid is red (ATF), brake/clutch fluid can be yellow/green, coolant can be green/red (normally only toyota coolant is red). Its hard to tell but the clutch slave looks shiney which indicates wetness, peel back the boot and see if any fluid comes out..if it does you need a new slave cylinder. If its coming from higher then its most likely coolant from the heater hoses etc.

Now that ive seen the second picture and the way it looks to be drying on the ground i say coolant.

After a second look at the first pic the slave looks to be new too LOL.

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
