brake lines !?!?!
well about 4 days ago my clutch pedal was to the floor and i had no pressure on it what so ever... fist thing i did was look for leaks around the slave and master... then after popping open my brake fluid reservoir( master and slave share the same reservoir?), i discovered that i was low after adding brake fluid and pumping my clutch pedal it was back... but i still have a concern since brake fluid shouldn't just disappear... so would this point to a tiny hole in my brake lines somwhere? since they need absolutely minimum fluid to work ? anyone else ever experiance a problem like this ?

I won't let go
It's possible to have a hole in the stock lines, but the pressure that's applied to them should make them useless all the time if there is.
If it is a break in the line near the calipers, you should be able to see evidence of it somewhere. Additionally, while under the car, I noticed that the rear line and the splitter in the back was in pretty rough shape. It's possible that there could be a leak there, but again, you should be able to see it.
You would notice though if it were a brake line. Pop your clutch slave. It's possible that you could be leaking at the seal. It could be possible that you're pooling in the bell housing.
