i have a 93 fastback, ka-de, only mods to the clutch stuff is SS CLUTCH LINE and BYPASSING THE DAMPER BOX and REBUILD KIT FOR THE SLAVE CYLINDER.

before i installed the ss clutch line and the rebuild kit for the slave cylinder, the fluid would last about a month or two then i would have to refill. after i install the parts (installed ss clutch line and slave cylinder rebuild because i thought it was the slave dying on me and thought that the rubber line was leaking), i find myself refilling the clutch fluid every week because the fluid will go low. i traced the lines and seems like there is no leak in the lines, but i dont know why this still happens. is my master cylinder going out? or is the slave going out? or am i just screwed with no solutions?

there's a leak somewhere. my clutch master cylinder was leaking under my carpet. I would have to refill every month.

Just crawl under the car, and pull off the dust boot on the slave cylinder. Most likely brake fluid will drip out. <--- leaking slave

if your slave isn't leaking, it's your master cylinder.

yeah, look into that master cylinder, and don't wait for it to drip down on the pedal so that your foot slips off the clutch and smacks the brake on the freeway. Don't ask how I know it happens. Good rule of thumb with those is when you change one, might as well do the other. Master and slave. For me, that goes for brakes too.

Make sure you get an OEM unit for the MC. The other ones leak.
