Looks like it is starting to go bad. Leaking past the seals. Keep an eye on it.

It's not starting to go bad, it has. You'll need a new clutch slave cylinder.

you probably need to replace it.. mines went out 2 months ago when the car was at 45k miles. my clutch stopped engaging, when i checked the fluid for the clutch, there was none, replaced it for 50 dollars.

Your clutch master cylinder needs to be replaced. Do it as soon as possible. Mine went on my Prelude before like that to.

The leak has allready started, it's not going to get any better. It will continue to act normally untill all of the fluid has leaked out. Then you won't have a funtioning clutch.

Your profile shows you have an 03, It will be covered under warranty.

Thanks guys! I will take it to the dealer as soon as i get it out of the storage (in about a month).
BTW, is this a really common problem? My car only has around 8000 miles on it.

Thanks again!
