Default 1993 Civic- Leaky Clutch Slave Cylinder -I think-

I noticed a leak around what I think is the clutch slave cylinder. If this isn't the slave cylinder what is it? Is it easy to repair?

the seals wore out. i think its like 20 bucks here at napa.

If your wondering why it would wear out think about how many times over the 17 years ( assuming its original) it has been applied pressure!

Okay so this is the slave cylinder. Good to know so I can get the right parts from Napa. Is there any how-to advice for this project that you guys want to share?

Is there anyway to adjust the clutch? I'm not sure what's it's called, but isn't there something that controls the clutch peddle that can be adjusted which will make it feel stiffer? The car has 320k miles on it with the original clutch. It's not slipping yet, however it engages when the peddle is almost all the way out.

I looked around the clutch peddle and there seems to be a screw that I can adjust that has a spring loaded thing that pops out.
Any ideas?

Sort of. But you can't just set it wherever you want. Go too far one way and it wont disengage properly, too far the other way and it'll slip. Chances are its adjusted right, its just worn.
