Clutch oil keeps leaking

I have a Civic LX manual and the clutch oil keeps leaking (dunno where it's leaking). Any ideas? Also, how much would it be to fix myself? I'm replacing my clutch shortly too through a friend's shop and was wondering if it would be cheaper to fix that leak myself or just to have him fix it up for me.

Thanks guys.

It either leaking from the master cylinder, slave cylinder or the line that connects the two.

Slave cylinder is not difficult to do so it wouldn't be difficult for you to DIY. Since it is not difficult to do it might be best to have the mechanic do it, since it shouldn't cost that much. Master is a little harder to get to but still not difficult to replace.

Crawl under the dash with a flashlight and inspect the master cylinder.

DIY for clutch hydraulics looks like a 6th Gen,, but everything is similar.


This guy is awsome..
