I confirmed last night after work that my clutch master cylinder is in fact leaking exactly as described. So we bled/refilled and burped the system and I'm back on the road
Been watching a few youtube videos on replacing the clutch m/c and it doesnt seem too hard so I'll attempt that soon, but in the meantime I'm just going to keep an eye on the fluid level to see how fast it's draining.
Any recommendations for places to source a new clutch m/c? OEM seems popular. Do we have any Honda OEM dealers that hook us up?

But I use a turkey baster to clean out my clutch fluid every oil change so the fluid is kept fresh.
OEM Honda dealers don't care about us lol. I order from AFHK because they are enthusiasts.

A leaky master will only leak occasionally it won't pour out or anything. You can go a month before you need to top it off. For a while I would just go a month Turkey baste the old fluid out in new fluid give it 100 pumps then drain and fill again. Eventually I got sick of random gear cruch once every 150 shifts or so, just manned up and got a new master.

Been using Centric CMCs on both of my cars and put a total of 40k miles on them without issue...

Ordered a new CMC from Majestic yesterday. Hoping to have it by the 4th so I can replace it and get all-new fluid in the system. I neglected the clutch fluid too long and now I'm pretty sure I have a ton of air in the system. Engagement is REALLY deep in pedal travel.

a lot of varying info here, 90% of the cmc on s2000 will leak, to fix this or prevent total failure, turkey baste the fluid in the cmc every oil change or so, if you have a sludge build up, clean it and replace liquid/ do a gravity flush, the leaks will go away once new fluid is cycled through a few times, if all else fails than replace cmc, get the cmc and slave off of ebay nissin brand, oem at a 1/4 the price

Does anyone understand why sludge build up causes leaking?
I assume after the regular turkey baster and sludge wipe out treatment I should put fresh brake fluid in, and discard the old fluid. Correct?
