Dot-3 Brake fluid.

Check your clutch master cylinder and the slave located at the bottom of the transmission.

It could be a slow leak, refill and go drive and check. This will give you time to save? lol

The Clutch master cylinder is only like 20bucks at autozone.

oh and since you have a s13, if you have a aftermarket clutch, remove the damper box. Its supposed to take the pressure of the clutch system but it really doesn't help us.
