I went to take a drive this morning and my 01 max had almost a dead clutch pedal! I got the car in gear and was able to drive . Later after work I checked the clutch reservoir and there was no fluid in it.... Drove to Advance Auto and purchase Prestone Brake fluid , poured it in the reservoir and almost immediately the clutch pedal regained pressure . I am worried . Apparently no fluid seems to drop off the "Max mark" on the reservoir as of this evening .
How do I test to see if the Clutch Cylinder is leaking ,ect.

Kindly share your input.

check your clutch slave cylinder, if its leaking you will feel loss of clutch pressure and will of course leak fluid. thats where i would start, if the slave cylinder is good see if the cylinder or lines are leaking

Thanks for your quick response. I also just found Motovate website and I am looking into the pics . I now know where to start looking and what to look for. I think it may be a line.

thanks again.
