Clutch fluid could be leaking from either the slave cylinder on the front of the tranny bell housing, or at the master cylinder. The clutch MC leaking is actually pretty common I think. Mine was leaking inside the firewall and down onto the carpet. Look under your dashboard to see.

Clutch wear does not affect fluid level. If yours is low, there is most likely a leak somewhere.

Yep.. I'm currently having the same exact issue..(CMC leak)

my clutch master cylinder seal leaks.. (around your clutch pedal..on inner side of firewall.. you can see the fluid leak around the seal..)

I think autozone stocks these from anywhere to like $50-$80 bucks.. every car i've ever owned i've had to replace the clutch master cylinder.. i'm thinking i might replace with OEM acura part this go around though

When I replaced mine, I never could find a source for a rebuilt OEM MC. I am running an OEM Nissin rebuilt brake MC from AutoZone and it works fine. But I ended up just getting a brand new clutch MC from Carland Acura for $100, and a brand new slave cylinder (just preventative maintenance) for $58.
