    A few issues/questions

    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.
