dude!
Find the location of the leak. ITs in one of 3 places. Master cylinder, slave cylinder or the clutch line. Its not rocket science, its a VERY uncomplicated system.

Yeah,

My powers of divination have suddenly disappeared. I used to be able to find leaks by just reading threads, but one day *poof*, my fantastic powers were gone.

Estimate: About 3 times what it would cost you to by the parts and tools to do it your self.

WHAT?!?

The master cyl is a BREEZE to replace! And they are like 80 bucks or so for a reconditioned one. But the thing is, if they leak, they generall leak INTO the cabin of the car. The Slave usually leaves a puddle.

Have you VISUALLY verified the leak? Or do you just feel like shelling out $$ for what MIGHT be the problem?

I've got the same problem, but I already know that it's from a worn out clutch master cylinder. So I talk to the good people at mazdatrix and have that part on its way. And just to be sure I even got the rebuild kit to go with it. I hope your problem is easily fixed like mines.

Peace,

well when i replaced mine, i thought that removing those bolts off from the firewall was pretty hard because im not a very flexible person

haha oh yeah that was until i got the deep socket for the bolt. then it was a breeze
