Default LEAKING CLUTCH FLUID :(

about 2 weeks ago, outta nowhere my car was just about out of clutch fluid. I filled it up 4 days ago and today it was completely out, i barely made it home. As soon as i got home i filled it up and then traced the lines but couldn't find any leaks anywhere.
anybody with any experience or ideas on this? would be greatly appreciated

Either your master or slave cylinder is shot, have them looked at.

Broken, I would assume.

Get them replaced.

your clutch master cyl. is probably leaking. it is a good idea to replace your slave cylinder at the same time.

you may also have a leak on the rubber line that stretches accross your transmission. i have replaced this line on my 94 lude.

to check your master cylinder look at the clutch pedal arm under your dash. you will see the rod from the master cyl. Look around the rod and you should see brrake fluid leaking down from it.

the rubber line over the tranny will not have a drip but rather a moist spot on the line. it wont look major at all but trust me it will cause your pedal to go dead.

also check your feed line from the resovoir to the master. i replaced that also.

i have also replaced the clutch damper due to leaking. it is on the left side frame under the abs modulator, and intake arm.

Check the clutch master cylinder from inside the car, mine went that way and was leaking fluid into the passenger compartment
