Hey guys. Just wondering if you guys have this problem. I have to add clutch fluid probably once every 2-4 weeks which is approx 1500kms or so, give or take. No there is no leaks what so ever. Just wondering if this is just normal clutch usage or should i get it checked out deeper.. when its low on fluid my clutch engages maybe half an inch off the floor but when its full it engages in the top 2-3 inches.. Thanks guys

you have a leak, replace Master Cylinder.

Think you don't have a leak eh????

Check the interior side of the firewall but the brake rod. You'll find it "wet" with brake fluid.

I add 4oz every oil change, which is 6-7k miles.

It's a closed system, so if it's disappearing, it's going somewhere. Glad you found it, now get it fixed.

I Think mine may be doing that also. The base of That rod that goes from the pedal to MC is leaking a greyish fluid. Time to replace?

Yeh id say get it fixed.. i mean the first time i noticed i was low on fluid was when my cars clutch engaged about an inch off the floor and was right messed up.. so i would get it fixed befor it does some real damage
