I have to fill my brake fluid up like every month, i think its leaking. Do i need to replace anything like the clutch master cylinder or slave cylinder or is it something else. I think its leaking inside the car, and doesnt look like its leaking in the engine bay, here i got pics:

 

master cylinder got to be replaced. and check the slave cyl for any leak sign.

 

wheres the slave cylinder?

True. That MC is leaking, albeit slowly.

To check your slave cylinder, place a piece of cardboard under the tranny and let it sit overnight. The s.c. is on the side of the tranny closest to the radiator. It looks like a little dirty water pistol or something.

 

I disagree with the previous opinion, I think it's leaking pretty badly since the carpet is stained in the first pic. Definitely change the master and check the slave cylinder while you're at it. Remove it and check for leaks under the boot.

If you let this go and you run into not having enough clutch release (low fluid) then you're wearing your tranny unnecessarily.

Ah I see the leaked carpet now. I stand corrected.

 

if it is easy to replace the MC, then should i buy it off of ebay, cuz it normally costs $150 at a dealership.

 

I replaced mine with an Ultra 8 brand part for about 60$. In Canada NAPA carries this brand.

 

I went to the Honda Doctor and asked them how much would it cost to replace MC, they said u should have the SC replaced also which all of its gonna cost about $500, this seems to expensive should i go to the dealership?

No. I got the M/C, S/C replaced by a local grease monkey for about $330. Using genuine Honda parts. Go around to some stores and get an estimate. Place a piece of cardboard under your tranny overnite to see if the S/C is leaking. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. The M/C and S/C do not have to be replaced at the same time, they are just trying to make some $ off you. Go to some local shops and get some other estimates.

hell no, i believe there is DIY post in ITR section. its pretty easy. just take a time.

OEM master cylinder is about right under $100 or very little over. and 3-4 bottle of brake fluid will be under $15.
