[QUOTE="Radiohead, post: 98456, member: 3238"] Thanks for the replies. I picked up some DOT 4 Chevy Clutch fluid today and filled to level. I have enough to clean the system, which I will do next weekend as posted above. As I was filling the system, I took notice of the reservoir and the shrouding area. The was some residual along the top and down the side of the reservoir and drips on the connecting hose and on the plastic wheel well. The reservoir in right next to the side wheel well which was plastic so although I could see drips there was no areas where paint was removed or stripped. It looked like the reservoir was leaking due to the cap not being secured properly. After filling it, I cleaned the reservoir and surrounding area and triple checked the cap. I did also talk to my local Chevy dealer, which is the dealer that I will have the vechile serviced at. I purchased the car in SWO. They did confirm that I have warranty until mid December under the Certified used program through GM. Since there is a small deductible, they coached me to refill the system and check it frequently to see if it goes down again. I will take the car in for an oil change before winter storage and they said they would check everything out at that time with a second set of eyes. My guess is the cap was not secure and the dealer did not check the fluids. Sucks, but hopefully that is all it is And is now resolved. [/QUOTE]
