Please Need help here, I'm lost

[Speed777]

My car left me on the road today, clutch pedal went down with no pressure and when opening the hood noticed hydraulic fluid all over the skid plate. I've been reading through so many different threads about slave cylinder leaks and the different work around and options including supra slave and lexus is300 slave options. Also about slave cylinder and line revisions not being the same. Also the difference between oil rings inside the slave cylinder.
My clutch, slave cylinder and master cylinder was done new July 29 2020. I did notice that slave cylinder didn't come on the inside with oil ring shown on picture, it came empty so we had to swap oil ring from old slave cylinder to new cylinder.




Guys honestly I'm lost, I don't know where to start or what direction or path to take. I'm suppose to take the car to the mechanic on Tuesday to get it checked but on the mean time I was suppose to start looking for part options before Tuesday. Any help will be gladly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help.

Assuming you have a speed 3 since your picture is of 3 slave cylinder end fluid line seals. I would use search terms to bring up related posts, so you can figure out what you need. You have a hard appointment date with mechanic, so your options are whatever you can get for parts.
Unless you are going to change out OEM parts for upgrades, you will be spending $$ + mechanic $.
I would stick to OEM and when you need to renew clutch assembly to something different.
Just thought, if you can find the seals in tray and u-clip...repair to just get fixed. It is a pia area that either goes easy or is a pain.

Thanks for the answer! I talked to the mechanic and told him I ain't buying nothing until he checks to see where is the leak. If the leak is the slave itself I ain't going back to oem, i rather go supra or lexus path in order to achieve something that last longer because every 2 years changing slave is a pita.

Thanks for your reply! My mechanic told me the problem was the oem line( was leaking big time through oem line connection on slave cylinder) so i bought a new line braided from clutch masters and also wanted to see where can i find the inner small seal that goes inside the slave cylinder(the one on first picture) so i could also replace it but mechanic told me that it is the line itself not that small inner seal. Hopefully after this, problem gets sorted out.

FWIW if anyone has this issue I can suggest a temporary fix.

If and a big IF you can find a regular Mazda 3 in the junkyard with a manual transmission you can use that line to replace the broken piece. The line is shaped different however the fitting into the slave is the same. I had this happen to me, grabbed one of those lines and used a compression fitting to splice the lines together. It worked for thousands of miles without issues or leaks.

Compression fittings aren't bad but they shouldn't be used for brakes. On a clutch system it wouldn't be bad. You could also get some fittings and flare each line so it can be removed easily. The reason the plastic tip on the fittings break is because of the tension caused by the angle of the pipe into the slave cylinder.
