Hello,
Depends were the fluid is leaking from. First step is to fill the resevoir and see were it leaks from. There are 3 really 4 places for it to leak from.
1. Very unlikely but the feed hose from the resevoir down to the clutch master.
2. The clutch master. Usually if this is the leak it will be leaking internally on the car. So look under the dash were the rod from the pedal enters the clutch master.
3. The pressure hose from the the clutch master to the clutch slave. Usually this leak will be in the flexible portion of the line in the several feet before the transmission.
4. The clutch slave. Usually this leak is first visable under the car. You can remove the big plastic cover to get a better view.
Ofcourse the leak could be at one of the connection points and just need tightened and not replacing one of the above items. Sometimes you have to pump the pedal a few times after filling it with fluid to find the leak. Sometimes it is more than one item and sometimes some people like to replace the entire system so they know its all new. If you search the board you can see how to change the different items and how to rebuild some of them. Good Luck, Bernie
