Well, here I go to get in my Supra and drive off, my clutch goes all the way to the floor. I check my fluid and its dry. It's leaking behind the pedal where it come from the firewall, I assume that I will have to replace the whole booster right? Please give me some good news with good figures on how to go about this, my day's been crappy...:1zhelp:

clutch master cylinder
mine's leaking right now too, but not that bad, just a pinhole, so I have to refill it every week or so.
they're not too expensive I don't think... like 70 or 80 bucks

Well, that makes me feel better, the master cylinder is easy. I just saw how it was connected with the brake booster and I feared the worst, does yours leak inside too?

I used a rebuild kit from NAPA on mine. It was about $15 and included a new piston w/seals.

It's not very hard to do. I pulled the whole master cylinder, but thinking back I don't think that's even necessary.

You want to get that fluid off your carpet and paint. Brake fluid is an effective paint remover ;)
