it depends on what you want as far as a clutch (i.e. stock or upgraded). the fluid problem you are having is, you have a leak some where. check the clutch pump; in side the car. if you see it wet, thats where its leaking. also, check the slave cylinder (on top of tranny)and see if it is wet as well.

the leak is probably the slave cylinder. u can pull the boot back to check that. the master will leak down the firewall inside the car. which ever one it is, it's best to replace both along with the flex hose. clutch prices will depend on what u get and where. provided u replace the disc, pressure plate and release bearing with OEM parts, plan on spending at least $250.

Feel the inside of the firewall where the clutch mater cylinder rod comes through. You may not see anything on the top surface of the carpet.

u'll have to pull the carpet and padding away from the firewall area behind the pedals to see any leakage. may even have to use a flash light to see.
