So after a few months off my car being down. (replaced all gaskets and new turbos) I'm finally ready to get her on the road again and get tuned. BUT, my clutch pedal is basically not there. I bred the slave cylinder and everything, fluid just leaks out all over the place. The clutch pedal will start getting some pressure behind it again, and then as soon as i start the car its back to step one. Help??

TT or NA?

Also, where is the leaking coming from? Step one is to replace whatever is losing fluid.

^ Agreed. You must fix the leak before proceeding to bleed the system.
Also, you have dual bleed points, a real PITA to bleed too. But, the bleed sequence is to bleed the slave, then the second bleed point on the hood. Rinse and Repeat until your kid graduates medical school...

Not to mention, if fluid is getting out, even more air is getting in. You're fighting an uphill battle on ice right now.
