I am having a few issues with my car and would like some opinions.

1) I am leaking/dripping some kind of liquid (I believe it is tranny fluid) and it is dripping on my h-pipe and burning up. I can smell it and sometimes it creates some slight smoke. I believe this is coming from the speed sensor (is that possible?)
What are my options? Do I remove the current one and can I get a new gasket or whatever for it, or do I get a replacement sensor?

2) There is a rubbing/vibration coming from the passenger front tire area. I believe this to be a wheel bearing issue that possibly might need greased and or replaced. I have also notice the brake sometimes will go to the floor much easier than normal. I haven’t check the brake fluid, but if it is low, then I have a leak somewhere and will need to find it and fix it. If there is no leak, what could the vibration/rubbing be? It happens when the car is in motion.

3) There is a slight faint “whistle” or “squeal” when the car is idiling (the only time I actually hear it), especially on first startup of the car it is definitely distinguishable. The noise will disappear as soon as I put the clutch in, even just the slightest touch of the clutch. Is this a clutch problem, or a belt problem? What could it be?

I have heard that #3 (above) is the throw out bearing. Can anyone verify this?

Could be. My Cobra does the same thing you described. I changed the throw out bearing and it made no difference.

Definitely sounds like the TOB to me.

Ok, so what else could it be?

Screw the noise, you better fix that front wheel problem and the brakes before that car does you a number you can't fix!!!!!!!!!
