Clutch Pedal Problem

[97MitsuEclipse]

So I was driving and pressed in the clutch (shifting into 2nd) and it stuck slightly but came up. I kept going (hoping to make it home, I didn't) when shifting into 3rd the pedal went to the floor and didn't pop back and I couldn't go into 3rd. I stopped and tried putting it into gear but it wouldn't work. When I got out I noticed a little clutch fluid had leaked on the ground. So my question is, is it the slave cylinder or the clutch mastercylinder? or something else? (o I tried to refill the clutch fluid but it bearly took any to fill it and it didn't help any.) Any help would be appreciated, Thanks

well my friend that indeed is the question, Where is the fluid coming from the master or slave, just pop the hood, you can see the slave

That happened to me in my old talon, my Throwout Bearing exploded and the pedal stuck to the floor. I couldn't get it in/out of any gears....

I'm not sure if you have the same problem, you might have a hole/leak in your slave/master cylinder. Check your slave cylinder by pulling the boot back and checking for fluid. If it's leaking there, it's more than likely bad. You also need to check your Master cylinder lines and reservoir. If you have fluid leaking under the dash its the master. If you still can't find any leaks, follow all the lines in between the two and look for fluid and leaking. Replace necessary parts and do a proper bleed....

Hey Poonman, is your slave cylinder located in a different spot than every other dsm? Last time i checked, my slave cylinder is on the bottom side of the tranny.
