    It looks like you have 2 problems.
    Find out where the clutch fluid is going (it's brake fluid)

    If the brake booster is going then you'll have a VERY stiff pedal.
    If you have to pump the brakes then you have air in your lines
    If you pump the pedal to get brakes, but then it still falls, then you need a new master cylinder.

      The clutch system uses brake fluid, yes, but it is a completely different hydraulic system. It has NOTHING to do with the brake components. If you don't know what you're talking about, please don't spread misinformation.




      The clutch master cylinder is probably leaking. It tends to leak inside the car, so check for dampness on your floor under the pedal. The fluid is corrosive, and eats paint, so if it's leaking inside the car you'll want to thoroughly clean that area before it does serious damage.

      Replace both the master and slave cylinders, and properly bleed the system.

        Also check the slave cylinder on the front of the transmission, The piston seal on mine became very pitted and would leak slowly over a few months. The best way to tell if its leaking here is to get under the car and look for a dark stain down the transmission directly under it.

                  You're right. I missed that.

                  I hate when people make a post about one problem and then continue to ask about an unrelated problem in the same thread. Make two fucking threads for two different problems. It's not that hard.

                  I apologize. Your advice is spot-on for the brakes in that case.

                  You shouldn't have to disconnect your hydraulic system to change the clutch. If you did, then you need to re-bleed the system... but that wouldn't account for fluid loss.

                  If you wish to add something after a post, please use the "edit" button. Don't make multiple posts one after another. That will just get your thread deleted.
