Noticed some odd viscous fluid on the inner rim of my steelies and was wondering if anyone had space, time, and tools to check it out. Anyone free today? I can offer to buy beer and lunch as compensation for anyone willing to help.
Also, anyone free sometime soon to do a tech day for a 60,000 maintenance part install? I never got a response on my previous thread a while back.
All four or just one? I'm thinking brake fluid leak, but don't have the time to make it to Plano anytime soon.
Hope this helps
Walsted: Just the rear right passenger side, the others are fine. It wasn't a huge area either.
Can ya tell what the fluid is? Is it brake fluid, or is it grease, or is it cat piss?? I thought I had a brake fluid leak on my old NA turned out a :cat: pissed on the wheel....Quote:

Sounds like it may be a good time to go see http://www.miatasolutions.com/ he can do the 60,000 mile service for ya and figure out your leak!

As far as hitting up Miata Solutions, I wish I could but being in debt from a deadbeat ex and paying back loansharks has me strapped for cash. I do however have the parts from Trussville in a box.
Go to a Wednesday night GTG on the Eastside, I'm sure you could find someone to help ya!
Like POS always says, "if it smells like cat piss and it tastes like cat piss...";)
Or if you've got a black light, cat piss glows under ultraviolet light.
I thought it was "kitten batter" that glowed... maybe your car has a secret feline admirer. :rolleyes:Quote:

If it is indeed a leaky caliper, I'd recommend replacing both rear units. It never fails that the other side goes after you fix the first one - at least that's been my experience.Quote:
