Afternoon all,
New user here with a question and looking for some help and guidance. I picked up a 2010 C6 a few weeks ago from a Chevy dealer in South Western Ontario. As I have been trying to learn more the car I came across an interesting post on the Corvette Forum regarding the Hydraulic Clutch maintenance and correction. Link to the thread below
Clutch Pedal IssuesHow-To Prevent and Cure - CorvetteForum - Chevrolet Corvette Forum Discussion
After gaining some knowledge from the thread, I checked my Clutch Fluid reservoir today and found that it was almost empty and the fluid looks like black ink? The cap was not installed correctly and I think it was spraying as you can see some residue on the top of the reservoir. I wiped away some before I took these photos.
Here are a few photos:
My questions are: How would I know if I have a leak in the seals and does the dark colour indicate anything wrong.
I have a 3-month certified used warranty from the dealer I purchased from so, I will likely contact the dealer tomorrow.
Thoughts on how to best handle this and what could be wrong.
Rick
