Default Grinding/clutch problem

alright so today i was leaving college and my clutch was to the floor. i put fluid in,drove it and 2nd gear grinds now. i figured maybe it was cause it needed to be blead so i did that,still grinding. my trans did grind at 7500 rpms or higher before in 3rd and 5th,but iduno why second is doing it now. also my fluid seems to keep getting lower,im guess that can be the master cylinder but my question is can this be causing the grind? the clutch still does feel strong like it has pressure build up? btw. gsr motor b16 trans in eg hatch. thanks

Could be the syncros going. Rebuild should be on the to do list.

If your hydraulics are leaking you are not getting full disengagement, which can definitely cause a grind.

Take care of the leaking slave and/or master, bleed the system, and see where you're at.

the actual reservoir is leaking? There's no reason for that to leak, unless it was hit. Possible the line from the res to the master.

Whatever is leaking, replace.
