So lately my clutch has been having problems. It keeps leaking clutch (brake) fluid out after it stays parked for more than an hour. It leaks until the master cylinder is bone dry. The thing about it is i can't figure out where the hell the fluid is leaking from. Any suggestions? is this common? I've already bled it 3 times and thought it was fine each time, but after it sits for a while it leaks and the pedal drops to the floor as soon as i touch it.

any help is appreciated.

i really HATE my car right now....this isn't the only problem i've been having with it.........I may get a 5.5 gen soon cause this thing is seeming to be a P.O.S lately

 

First thing I would suspect is the clutch rubber line to the slave cylinder. I sounds like it has a hole in it and the fluid is leaking out. They have an ongoing group deal for stainless steel replacement line for $25 shipped.
I have replaced mine and I would do that in a heartbeat. Anything else is going to cost some $$$$!!

 

Don't panic. It's a quick fix. Contact "A33 VQ30DEK". He sells a stainless steel line that replaces EVERYTHING from the master to slave cylinder. Here's a reference to the thread. I have one and it was so awesome that I bought another just for the hell of it.
