Smile Clutch problem ~ Please Help!

So I havnt driven my car in about a week. When i hopped in I noticed there was almost no pressure on the clutch. The catching point is now super low and hard to use since there's no pressure... Weird thing is when I pump the clutch pedal, it seems to build back pressure, but then goes away in about 10 seconds... I'm thinking maybe slave cylinder, need to be bled or some sort of leak, but im unsure.

any ideas or similar experiences? HELP PLEASE~!!!

Thanks!

Have you checked the level in your clutch master cylinder? If it's low, that would explain your problem.

If it is, you will have to bleed your line. If it isn't low, you may want to try flushing and bleeding your clutch line before replacing something more expensive.

Not quite. It'll come back with a passion. You need to start ordering yourself a clutch master cylinder (most likely). Those things drop like flies on old s2ks. You are probably the 10th person who posted this on the boards. I ran into the same problems, ordered new CMC, and it works like new.
