where's it leaking from? inside the car, just on the other side of the firewall, down in front of the engine?

its leaking from the tube that the fluid comes from the resivoir....i had a 5speed swap and he couldnt use the stock piping, he had to fabricate one. its leaking from the connection but when i have some1 pump the clutch it doesnt leak out, maybe when im driving it only does it. weird

it could only be leaking out after it warms up... the hydraulic line between the clutch master and slave cylinders weaves all around the engine, so it tends to catch some of that ambient heat.

as long as you don't let it leak to the point where air can get in the line, you should be alright... but it sounds like you already did and will probably need to bleed it after you fix that leak.

yeah, thats the prob. You need the pressure in the line, to keep pressure on the pedal. A leak will be the cause of that. Get it fixed, and flush the line out (a pump works best, I couldnt pump the pedal enough to get any pressure at all, for about 3 days, lol). Once you flush it out, you should have more pressure on there and be good to go!

Peace
