Ok, driving to the gas station to get some smokes today, i notice that the clutch is going a little limp on me. I park, get smokes, and get back in to leave, The pedal is completely dead and their is zero fluid in the resovior (sp?). I tried adding a little, but it wouldnt take it even after rigorous pumping. The master is almost new, as is the clutch assembly , but the slave is probably pretty old. So I guess my question is- whats the easiest way to track down my leak? I dont want to replace anything that isn't necessary.

Easiest way to track down leak is add fluid(don't spill), pump the clutch, look for the highest place that has brake fluid on it. You may even try to have someone pump the clutch while you are under it ifyou are having trouble finding the leak. Probably the slave though.

Actually I was wrong in my first post, my slave was the one that was recently replaced. I replaced the master today and bled it thoroughly. Works just fine.
