my clutch is losing fluid/pressure constantly

[GlazedDSM]

So about a week ago I bleed my clutch because I had lost the fluid. Just yesterday I had no fluid again I check the lines but I don't see where fluid anywhere. I tried to tighten every connection as well and none of them would go any tighter. Could my slave cylinder be bad and cause fluid to drain?

Check your master cylinder, also look at the firewall inside your call where your master cyl bolts to.

It just might be. Inspected it to make sure its not leaking through the seals. It might only leak when you step on the clutch making the fluid squirt out. Is there any fluid in the system or just the reservoir is empty?

Could be the slave cylinder or the master cylinder. If you are loosing fluid then its going somewhere, start digging around and looking for a puddle or stains in your carpet.

One of 2 cheap cylinders, master or slave.

ok and the the boot on the slave cylinder does have a crack could it come out of there? and the reservoir goes empty and the clutch goes soft and i have to pump multiple times to disengage it

Heres what I would do. Remove slave and master cylinder. Buy new master and slave. Install new parts and problem solved. Your always supposed to replace the two together.

 

[Slo2gen]

You don't have to change the two together but because they are cheap most people just replace them both at the same time to get around the proper diagnosis. I have change the slave cylinder on my once and still have the OEM clutch master in it and haven't had a problem in over 4 years. To each their own I guess.

Like slowgen said, look around the firewall for any stains on your carpet. More than likley its your master.

Ok since I have never done this how long does it take to swap the master/slave and I appreciate all the help there was no stains or puddles but a drop on the clutch near fire wall

 

[Slo2gen]

Not too long, maybe an hour if its your first time including bleeding the system.

ok so i went to swap out the slave cylinder and they gave me the 4g63 one so i went to put the old one back on and got it as tight as i could and still leaked from the line, now the nut is slightly stripped and i have no idea what to do
