we're bleeding the slave cylinder now.
update: i took that boot off thats on the slave cylinder and the fluid came out. is that normal?

nope it's not normal to have fluid come out of anywhere unless you are loosening the bleeder valve or lines. looks like you found your culprit. get that sealed up.
also what i found was after replacing my clutch master cylinder is that you have to readjust it so it can push enough fluid to move the slave enough to release the clutch. first deal with your leak then test drive, then check the master cyl if the problem persists. good luck!

NOPE! not normal! ... you need a new slave. when you remove that boot and the fluid squirts out you lose all hydrolic pressure. i heard you cant get it back unless you rebuild it. trust me, not worth it. stop by your nearest pep boys and pick one up for about 30 bucks.

thank you all for all your help. i got another 5spd coming on sunday. so ill be replacing that part soon. plus im over buying parts like that from auto zone. if its a vital part then im not getting it from auto zone. ill straight to the dealership.

you can see the master cylinder from under the dash? or just where it would be leaking from?
so let me get this right people. no fluid is supposed to come out of the boot(if i were to take it off) on the slave cylinder?

The stick will act as the hold down. This is a pain in the rear but if you ain't got no body else to help then might as well.
this is the info i need now. about the clutch fluid coming out of the boot. ive asked like 3 or 4 people and they all say the same thing. its the slave cylinder and it needs to be replaced.

another way
Another way to tell if the slave cylinder is shot.
First get as much pedal pressure as possible (enough to make the slave cylinder move)
Then with the pedal held down (stick or someone holding it) watch and see if the slave cylinder piston moves back toward the the engine as the pedal is held down.
This will also indicate a leak somewhere...
Let me know if you find anything out. Good Luck
