You have a small resevoir under the hood, like the brake fluid resevoir. This holds brake fluid also for your clutch master cylinder. See that it has fluid in it. If empty, you have a leak. If full, have someone work the clutch pedal and watch from under the vehicle to see if the clutch slave cylinder is pushing the rod in and out. (Located on the passenger side transmission bellhousing)
I have a 06 SES ZX4, same foaming and whining, burped fluid out the cap, progressively worsening in the cold weather. After reading several blogs, found the Ford TSB 08-18-9, and looked at my reservoir O-rings. The outboard ring looked bad, inboard was visibly OK. Replaced both, fixed my problem (Oreilly Auto Parts). Another blogger said he found a filter in his reservoir, mine did not have one. Also, fluid is dark, will be flushing very soon. Car has 130K miles.
Check your hoses first - if cracking replace Next check your resevoir is the leak coming from where the hose connects to or is the leak coming from the resevoir/pump. If the hoses are good you will need to replace the pump/resevoir. The wineing noise indicates low fluid. Too much fluid would cause foam at the resevoir
It's a tiny resivoir, usually above or near the master cylinder or brkae fluid resevoir. You'll have to bleed the clutch. Fill the resevoir. With someone in the car...find the relief valve on the transmission, right above the clutch wire to tranny. Open valve and have the person in the car slowly push the clutch to the floor. This will cause the fluid to squirt out. Close the valve then have the person return the pedal...it might not return by itself. Due this about 3-4 times. Top off resevoir.
How many times has it got hot? You better do a cooling system pressure test. Sounds to me you got more problems than a cloged radiator. Do you see a puddle under the car? Its got to be going someware. Do the test.
well, i don't know if it was much of a solution. I figured out there was only one resevoir for the front and rear washer fluid...located the hose going to the rear and disconnected it from the electric pump attaced to the resevoir. Once the hose was disconnected i activated the pump and the fluid shot out of the pump indicating it was working. So, i figured it must be some kinda blockage in the hose line...so, i pushed air through the line in hopes that it might work to clear it out...well, don't know if that was the trick but when i reconnected the hose it worked!
First if you coolant is boiling over you may have one on the following problem, bad thermostat-stuck closed. bad water pump bad radiator fan or fan switch or antifreeze leak-bad hose etc. Bad head gasket. Contact if you need more help,thanks for using FIX YA
