RE: weird problem with clutch since yesterday
Bleeder valve is on the slave cylinder, which is on the side of the transmission facing the front of the car, near where it meets the engine. There is a hose attached to it that goes to the right fender, where it joins a metal line which eventually goes all the way around to the master cylinder.
If the system is full and properly bled, and you still have to pump the pedal to make the clutch work, the master cylinder is bad.

well with a leaking master cylinder it will take a week or two to be noticable..... ive been driving my 94 for about 3-4months now and it just now needed more fluid its just a small drip here and their. preaty rare... just check the fluid every week or two.

Whatever part is leaking, will need to be replaced. The hoses and lines are seperate parts from the cylinders. There are kits to rebuild the master and slave cylinder in the field but I have not had much success with those. Usually they leak because the bore is worn or rusty and the kit won't fix that.

Remember that the master cylinder can leak past the shaft seal, & soak into the carpet near the pedal. Lots of fluid can go there before you notice the leak. You'll need to watch the fluid inventory in the reservoir.
Also... The master cylinder can leak back into the reservoir. Then it never leaks out, & never actuallyloses fluid. In that case the clutch will gradually begin to drag if you hold it in for a little while (like at a stoplight).

I just had this problem, it was leaking on to the floorboard. I went ahead and replace both the slave and master cylinders. I used a Mitivac hand bleeder - vacuum pump - its a whole lot easier and cleaner than pumping the pedal.

yea but for some reason i dont have any fluid in my cars carpeting or even near the clutch pedal, i checked the resovoir today and it seemed to be at the same level like 2 days ago, but ill see what happens, where else can i look for leaks where it wont be difficult to check
