Clutch resorvoir keeps being low
A month ago all of a sudden one night my clutch pedal felt weird.
It would go a lot farther down than usual and had hardly any travel. I pulled in the store bought brake fluid and filled the low resorvoir.
It was fine for 3 weeks then did it again.
It wasn't empty , just low enough to affect the pedal
What's leaking and where?

Either the master or slave cylinder (or both) is leaking. Check up on the firewall near your clutch pedal to see if it's wet with fluid, that's the master leaking. Pull the boot back on the trans where the hydraulic line goes to see if the slave is leaking. If it's the master, replace both since **** rolls downhill.

Your Clutch Master Cylinder is most likely biting the dust and leaking on the inside floorboard where the clutch pedal attaches to the firewall..

I ordered both of mine off ebay from a whole saler for my EG6 and they both lasted the 4 years I owned the vehicle and gave me no issues at all.. But that's your call

Re: Clutch resorvoir keeps being low
Come to think of it the brakes have always needed to e pushed harder than normal to stop
Although the brake fluid hasn't been low
Is that related ?
