From inside the cabin... like, on your shoe? Check the Clutch Master Cylinder from inside the cabin and under the hood

its either the clutch master or slave cylinder. Do like stated above. If there's oil inside the cabin where the clutch master rod goes through the fire wall then.... if its leaking from the slave (look at it under your hood) then...

yup that means you master cylinder is bad. its not to hard of a job. just kinda akward casue you will be upside down on your back changing it. i would take out your seat it will allow you to lay in a more comfertable position

Yeah that's ^^^ a good tip about taking the seat out. I would also spray some PB Blaster on the clutch line fitting and let it soak while you take the seat out. Unscrewing that fitting from the MC is a pain since there's not much room to work with.

BTW 92-00 Civic's and 94-01 Integra's use the same MC.

if he pays to get his oil changed, i doubt he'll be swapping his master cylinder himself?

why is the guy doing the oil change, looking under your dash board?

Are you sure he wasn't talking about the slave cylinder on the side of the tranny where it would leak down by the oil pan?

How much fluid is in the reservior?

oh he was checking my oil around the engine, and i think he opened the clutch oil thing(it located at the corner, in front of the driver seat.)he looked at it and he said my clutch oil is leaking.
he said it costs 75 bucks to fix it ..

I would wipe it down and watch it for a while. Was the fluid level low?
