I just filled the clutch fluid a while ago, made 30 miles, and dead pedal again.

I suspect that I do have a leak. How many parts are involved in clutch fluid actuation?
I have looked for a guide to replace the slave cilynder, but the only one lacks of description.
Could anyone help me?
 
It's a good idea to change the slave AND the master, irregardless of which is leaking. Both see about the same amount of wear.

For more info on slave see:
Slave Cylinder for the Clutch
It's for a 1g but it is similar to 2g.

Master is incredibly easy. Unattach from pedal assembly, release fittings, unbolt from firewall, replace.

Of course, before you do any of this you need to make sure that you are leaking from the slave or the master, and NOT from one of your hard lines. Check slave by pulling the boot off the body and checking if rod area is wet. Check master by crawling underneath your dash and seeing if rod area is wet.
 
I had this last week, My slave was leaking pretty bad, Other than the replacement Make sure you bleed the lines THOROUGHLY! Not a bad thought to replace the master while your at it if you got the cash. My slave was 40 bucks, and I think the master ran about 75 or so.
 
I had the same problem once driving to work and it suddenly went dead. Clutchless shifting FTW. You can get by only doing the slave, but it's best to replace the master as well as mentioned above. The last thing you really want is air bubbles in the line so be prepared to spend a couple minutes flushing the hard line.
