well, tonight i was at a gas station and i turned my car on. i pushed my clutch in and it the pedal didn't come back out. WTF! car jerks and dies. i look under my car and see something leaking. i look at my clutch fluid resvoir thingy and i am all out. i go back under my car and it is clutch fluid. so i drive home in second gear the whole way. can't move it in or out of gear while the car is on.

i think i found the leak, it is coming from the hard line that goes down the passenger side wheel well in the engine bay. tomorrow i will find out exactly where it is and hope to hell i don't have to replace the hard line.

Its probably the soft line that spans from your slave cyl to the hardline

i found where it was leaking. the line that is on the passenger side, it is a bleeder line. it goes from the fire wall up to on top of the wheel well. there was a hole in the line. it was all corroded right by the battery. and the subframe and the battery tray has lots of corrosion on it. so i am guessing that one of the past owners had a battery blow and didn't clean the battery acid up. so the battery acid over time ate away at everything and finally ate completely away at the clutch line. stupid owners.
