Recently had my whole clutch hydraulic system replaced as there was no pressure and the clutch was sinking to the floor. Everything has been fine for 2 weeks and I noticed this morning what appears to be antifreeze/coolant leaking from the front bottom left part of the engine. I assume it's antifreeze as it's a thin red liquid. There was a puddle on the ground this morning. The truck has been idling very low since the clutch replacement and sometimes stalls. Is this a transmission fluid leak and therefore I should not be driving and getting a tow back to the mechanic.

Hi there,

Can you tell me if it is oil or water? check the coolant is the type used in your car red?
