So I wake up this morning to go outside to move my car, only to find that the clutch pedal has lost almost all of its stiffness. It feels extremely light and doesn't start to feel stiff until you almost hit the floor. I am not to sure what would cause this over night, and I didn't see any fluid anywhere. The car still seems to move into gear without issue, however what happened to the clutch? Thanks for any info.

*EDIT* While I was looking for a leak I took the cover off the clutch fluid reservoir and its way down below the min mark. This would probably mean a leak. However anywhere particular it may be leaking from? Thanks.

 

Clutch master cylinder. Check by your clutch pedal, there should be a sludge of fluid where the pedal comes out of the wall.

 

leaking into the cabin where the master cylinder come through the fire wall

 

^ Yea I don't know why I didn't notice that the first time. It definitely looks like sludge coming out and it looks like it had a drip as well. So does anyone have experience of what it would cost to get fixed...? Thanks

 

As per Billman:
Try fresh fluid first.
IOW, a flush and bleed.

Succes.

Btw.. clutch (= brake) fluid is very bad for paint.

 

I JUST did a clutch fluid bleed for my Mom's '95 Integra. Upon inspection I found a sizeable leak below the pedal and stains on the carpet.

Looks like a new clutch master cylinder for christmas!!!
