Lost Clutch

Everything was fine. Was driving home and lost clutch.Could not put in gear. Able to coast into my driveway and turned car off. Checked and Clutch fluid below LOW level. 2 weeks ago when car was serviced level was ok. Added fluid and after starting car and pumping clutch it started to work wonderfully. Next morning no clutch. Fluid level OK. Started car and after about 5 minutes and pumping clutch it started working again. Checked for leaks and found just a little dripping off tranny area but I don't know if it is clutch fluid. Next morning same senerio.

Bottom line. I Lost clutch and clutch fluid. Now clutch works after engine running for a while and pumping clutch. Can't find leak yet.

Air in Lines? Gotta find the leak?

Help!

sounds to me like one of the cylinders is shot.. when you press it, it's letting fluid out around the seal. . you may want to investigate that a bit further... if is that, make sure you replace both at the same time (master AND slave)
