Empty Clutch Master Cylinder Reservoir

[stewgst]

Every time I get up in the morning I have to fill up my clutch master cylinder reservoir. My clutch master cylinder isn't leaking and neither is my slave cylinder. Anyone know where else it can leak from? I think it leaks only when I am driving because there are no brake fluid puddles under my car when i get up in the morning. Its still drivable, I just have to keep filling it up every morning.
It might be my slave cylinder is just going out slowly, any other suggestions will be appreciated.

The best way is to clean everything up really nice, drive it, and then start tracing the lines to detect the leak.

When mine went out, the only traces of leaks were far up on the clutch pedal and the fluid soaked into the carpet so it was hard to detect.

Cool, I'll clean up everything tomorrow. I'll let you know of my findings. Thx for the reply.

Another tip that may or may not be helpful to you in tracking down the leak is that the dot3 fluid tastes very bitter and seems to waterproof the area that it comes into contact with in your mouth.

The way that I know this is that I had to track down my leak in the rain. So I used taste since everything was wet anyways.

DISCLAIMER: Injesting in large quantities may or may not send you to the hospital.

Slave Cylinders last about 50K miles & like to "check out" when it gets cold outside - Brake Masters last about 100K.
