Default Master Cylinder is Leaking

I took my s2000 into the dealership for service and found out my master cylinder is leaking. (I have an extended warranty) Should this be covered under warranty?

I dont drive my car hard, Never launched the car or anything.. Is this usual wear and tear?

thanx for all replies and feedback

It should be covered but since you've already taken it to your dealer, why don't you ask them?

What a ripoff. A master cylinder shouldn't "wear out" in only 3 years.

[QUOTE=RACER,Mar 7 2006, 11:30 PM] Brake pads, tires, all fluids, belts/hoses are normal wear and tear items.

Yeah, Well what i was told is they wont touch anything that has to do with the clutch assembly?...

What kinda bugs me is i never used my extended warranty and its almost up. This will probably be the first and last time i ever use it (hopefully) and im being denied.. LOL great investment i made on the extended warranty..
Look at it this way:

For Hondacare (I assume it's them) it was an EXCELLENT investment.

It all depends on the extended warranty company, better described as a "service contract".

Oh...I thought you were referring to the brake master cylinder, not that it makes a difference

I assume you're talking about the clutch master. they all leak a little, if left with dirty fluid.

Change the clutch fliud, the leak will likely stop.
