Default Clutch Resivoir Leak ***HELP***

Well I can't seem to find any leaks any place, but my clutch fluid is secretly dissapearing. I checked my car 2 days ago and my clutch fluid res. was empty. This is the 3rd time that I have filled it up in about a week and a half. Where could the fluid be going or leaking from to cause that to be low?

Any help is very much appreciated. I wana get this done and settled before I boost this coming week.

This is a:

92 Civic EX 4 Door
B18A Swap

Thanks

Pull the carpet down a little so you can see where the clutch rod goes through the firewall - old clutch fluid could be running down the firewall behind you carpet...

Easy to replace... you can purchase the part at http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com

i'll go ahead and check these things tomorrow. I was told that if it's the clutch fluid resivoir that the entire thing needed to be replaced . . . is that true or can I just replace like a gasket of some sort?

So check behind the carpet on the driver side? If there is no fluid there then where else would I check asside from that one spot?

Slave cylinder.. then trace the hardlines and check all the flare nut fittings. And also check the rubber hose for cracks, etc. If you suspect somewhere to be leaking, look at it while you have a friend step on the clutch pedal.
