Default Clutch Problem!!

While I was about to leave for work this morning, I realized that I couldn't put my car in gear so I checked the reservoir and it was empty. I filled it up and it was working ok but not as stiff. I didn't have time to bleed it so luckily I have a truck that I can drive to work. Anyhow, I looked around and couldn't find where it could've leaked. Does anybody have a clue? Do you guys think it could've leaked through the piston (i forgot what it's called) that compresses the clutch disk inside the tranny? Do you guys think I should change that because I have another one in my CX. I'm going to bleed it tonight after work and see how it goes. Thanks in advance.

1. Check where your Clutch Master Cylinder connects to the firewall. Look at it from INSIDE the car. Feel around the rubber grommet/seal area for any fluid build-up.

2. Check your Clutch Master Cylinder resevoir. Check the line going down to the Clutch Master Cylinder for any leaks.

3. Check your Clutch Master Cylinder. Check all fittings going to it and check for leaks.

4. Follow the line going out of the Clutch Master Cylinder. It will run along the firewall where it's connected at an "adapter" behind the Intake Manifold. Check fittings there.

5. Keep on following the line. It runs under your battery, under the intake pipe, then along front to the Clutch Slave Cylinder. Check those fittings.

6. Check Clutch Slave Cylinder for any leaks.

yup, check up where it comes through the fire wall and see if it's leaking down behind the insulation and carpet.
