Default 93 del sol limp clutch

So my 93 del sol has a clutch problem, the clutch started not coming all the way up, then it got hard to shift. Now it's pretty much on the floor. By pumping it it does get pretty firm. I guess it sounds like it could be the clutch master or slave cylinder, but neither one looks like it's leaking, where else could it be leaking or could it be a different problem

Check for fluid above the clutch pedal.

Ok, so I bled the clutch and it feels normal now, I drove it a little and it felt good. Then I realized it's leaking green fluid, it looks like it's coming from the transmission. Is this transmission oil or could it be antifreeze

If it's antifreeze, then where's it leaking from and could this be related to the clutch issue or something separate. Is it okay to drive leaking. Is this a minor issue or something to be concerned about

Clean it all up, and then you should be able to see where it's leaking from. Your clutch master or slave could both leak, the slave could leak into the bell housing, one or both could be worn out inside and not be making a seal or it could just be in need of being bled.

For antifreeze, try to find the leak and keep an eye on it. I drove my old truck around like that for a year with a slow leak I could never find.

should b completely seperate, check ur heater hoses that r above the trans. U can rent a pressure tester from advance or autozone that hooks to ur radiator, then u pump it up to a lil above what ur cap is rated at and u should b able to c where its leaking from.
