Default Need clutch help! No presure

So driving home from work one morning I noticed the clutch was engaging alittle rough, so i pulled over and noticed my fluid was alittle low so on my way home I picked up some brake fluid and went home, on the way home the clutch was getting worse and worse by the time i had done my 10 mile drive home I had no clutch at all. Push it to the floor and it wouldnt engauge nor would it even come up off the floor. So about 20 rev matches latter i get home and say screw it i'll do it after i wake up. Well when i get up I grab my brake fluid and fill the tank up (by this time there was no fluid in there at all, also i couldnt find where any of it leaked out) After cleaning up I got in my car started it in nutral depressed the clutch and still no presure. No more fluid has leaked out since (becuase there isnt enough pressure to make it)
So i traced the clutch line and no holes or anything. I can only assume that is the master cylineder but i really dont know how to check to see if that is it or not. Im kinda newb when it comes to hondas so i can only assume what i was looking at was my master cylinder (kinda by the intake on the front of the engine.....right?) Well anyways if you guys have any ieads on what i should be looking out for please give me some help here, becuase i know if i drive it too a shop then they will tell me its your clutch, your master cy. and your slave cy. and i really dont want to deal wityh there bs

Non that i have noticed, Why would my rear druns have anything to do with not having presure in clutch? (I'm sure there's a reason im just new) So master cyl. how much are we talking installed? Today i let the car warm up for alittle pumped the clutch alittle presure built up but not enought to really drive the damn car.

Hey Tom,

Did you add fluid to # 16 in this pic? That's the reservoir tank for # 6, the clutch master cylinder.


It is on the far top right of your engine bay. Right by the driver, in teh corner. See it? Waay in the top right corner of this pic.


(thanks for the pic, whoever it is)

Also, check to see ifthe cluch MC is leaking fluid inside the cabin. Look to see if any fluid is down by the clutch pedal itself.
