Alright guys i have no clutch pressure and I no for a fact that it just has a leak somewhere cause the clutch master cylinder is empty. I no that it is leaking somewheres around the slave cylinder or at the fitting going into it. Its just to dirty under there and it was rainin when it leaked out so its wet everywhere so I cant exactly tell where its leakin from. And also I already tried tightening the banjo bolt up cause i thought it looked like it was leakin there but it did it again. And it takes a few days for it to leak out all the fluid. My question is where are the most common places for it to start leaking. Cause i mean i hate to replace the slave cylinder and that not be it.
 
Check for a crack in the hard line going into the slave, right at the point where the tube enters the compression nut going into the banjo fitting. Replace it with a stainless line from RRE when you replace the slave and throw away that bizarre accumulator on the top of the gearbox.

Check for a blown slave cup by pulling the rubber accordian boot back from around the slave cylinder and look for fluid inside it.

You should dry it all off, make sure it is clean then put some fluid in the master cylinder, then have somebody pump the clutch pedal while you are under the car. you should be able to see the location of the leak.
