clutch fluid leaking somewhere?

My clutch fluid is leaking somewhere and i have no clue where. I need to fill the reservoir like once a week!! How bad is this? I plan on fixing it but will need to buy/order the part and need to find some free time to do this... how long can i just keep filling it up until i can finally fix it?

Is it easy to fix?

If the clutch hydraulics have deterioted to this point I would: Replace the line, master and slave cylinder all at once. IMHO John

The fluid is going inside your car. Its going under the carpet. I'm saying its leaking at the pushrod that is located inside your car. Stinko.

Get a flashlight and take a look at the clutch pedal at the top. Where the pushrod on the pedal enters the clutch master cylinder. WET.

i had the same problem, it turned out to be the master and slave cylinder, they both were leaking for about a month before i changed them. my lines were o.k. but i think if you wait anylonger the cylinder may have absoloutely no copression making it almost impossible to press the clutch. making it a biatch if you get stuck somewhere,
dont be lazy change them both it doesnt take too long, toke me about an hour(really really took my time). dont forget to buy brake fluid and bleed the system.
