my 1990 toyota supra with 100k miles I spilled a little water in the alternator cleaning spilled clutch fluid all over the bottom of the chassis just missed the fusebox.
also, can water sabotage clutch lines? cause what comes out is unbeleivable.
Can water damage an alternator? Yes. Clutch lines are sealed. What are you talking about "what comes out?"
Yes, of course. That fluid is probably 32 years old. Flush out the old stuff, refill with new and bleed the air out.
why is clutch fluid that you drain so filthy and rusty, could this cause a decrease in performance?
It's brake fluid, which is hygroscopic (absorbs moisture). There's no such thing as a perfect seal, so over time a little atmospheric moisture gets in at the master and slave cylinders. As with brakes, the clutch should be bled every few years to prevent corrosion and seal damage. If left too long your clutch would stop working due to hydraulic failure.
