What's broken? Need opinions!!
Alright, here's the low down.
I was driving back from a trip to Mizzou, (100miles there, 100miles back) everything was normal. We were about 80 miles into the trip back, and i started to brake for a stop light. I go to put in the clutch to downshift, and the pedal is to the floor. Put on the hazards, pulled over. Car is towed to my house. Pop the hood, check fluids, and low and behold, there is NO clutch fluid. So, we fill it up, and bleed out the system.. clutch felt great. This was monday night.
Tuesday, I hop in the car to go to school, and the clutch feels iffy. I drive 2 blocks in my neighborhood and decided to turn back. Bummed a ride to school, came back, checked under the car and there's a puddle of the fresh fluid. I'm not sure what part is leaking (I'm not too tech-savvy when it comes to this aspect of cars), but it's right by the bleeder valve that we used to bleed the system with. It's leaking very slowly. It's now Thursday, and I checked the clutch pedal today, and when it's pushed down, It doesn't spring back up.
1995 Accord LX 2DR
It has an f22b2, everything is stock. July of '03 we had the Clutch Master Cylinder, and the Clutch Slave Cylinder replaced.. so it doesn't make sense for either part to have problems already.
My parents want to take the car to the local Honda and have them look at it. My issue here is that they want $105 to diagnose the problem.. and if it turns out to be the Clutch Master Cylinder, that's $137.66 + labor and diagnostics, or the Clutch Slave Cylinder, that's $87.02 + labor and diagnostics.
Any thoughts on what to do here? I have been sharing my sisters Jeep all week and it's more than troublesome, to say the least. Any help is appreciated!

Something very simple to put on. And if your worry about doing this, then just pick up yourself a cpoy of Accord Haynes manual you give to some more background info to slap on the slave cylinder, laters.
