While driving 60mph my Camry just drops out of gear. When I depress the clutch to put it back in gear the clutch depresses fine but when I put the stick shift into any gear I get no engagement, no noise, no awkward smell. When I get it to the side of the road I see a clear reddish brownish fluid, not motor oil.
