Exclamation HELP!!! Clutch Problem!!!

Ok, i'm new here, I have a '90 rx-7 GTUs here in CT. I was driving home, went to push in my clutch and it got stuck on the floor. Wouldn't come back up, come to find out there was no hydraulic pressure. So I bought some DOT-3 fluid and filled the reservoir (which was empty!!!) and bleed the system like 10 times. It would build some pressure, I would tighten the bleeder valve and then after like a minute pressure would be gone and my reservoir would be almost empty again. I have a Haynes manual and still can't figure out where and why I'm leaking.....PLEASE HELP!!!

look @ the reservior, now there's a line (like a break line) comming from it. now follow that line, see it's theres ne break fluid around that area, if there isn't, get someone to press the clutch pedal while your looking, you should fine your leak

Look around the clutch master and slave cylinders for fluid, and check the line.

For less than $100, you can replace the entire clutch hydraulic system - The master cylinder, the flexible hose, and the slave cylinder. It's likely you're going to have to do this piece-by-piece anyway, as one component tends to fail after another one does, so save yourself the time and aggravation now.
