Default clutch fluid leak

Hey everyone,

I'm losing fluid for my clutch. I used to have to put fluid into my clutch cylinder about every 2 or 3 months.. then it was about every 2 weeks, now it's about every week.

Is there anywhere else that it could be leaking from besides the clutch master cylinder? I was just going to get a new one and change it out, but I wanted to make sure that is what's leaking.

The fluid seems to be coming into the drivers side interior of the car around the clutch pedal.

Ok, I just looked at this again and fluid is also leaking from down around the transmission (dripping off of one of the crossmembers).. Would this be the slave cylinder??? Is the slave cylinder inside of the transmission or outside of it?

I just replaced both about two months ago. If you have any questions let me know. Do them both right away and if you have a gst or gsx get a ss clutch line to.

Sounds like your slave is leaking, just for peace of mind check the clutch master cylinder for any leaks

sounds to me like the slave and master cyliners are leaking, cuz he said it is coming in the interior driver side, thats the master, then it is outside the tranny too, that would be slave

Slave it pretty easy, master is a different story. At least we had problems getting it out on my car, not much room to work with. Is this a rs, gs or???
