Default clutch master cylinder issue

I noticed that my clutch master cylinder was leaking slowly. so I flushed it about 2-3 times. I had ATE-blue fluid and I flushed it out with regular brake fluid. It still leaks and the brake fluid keeps turning blue after a day worth of driving. What gives? How many times do I have to flush it out? thanks

I would replace the unit now before it's too late.

Are you talking like drip drip or a serious leak? Mine leaked real bad after ii bought it, it would only hold fluid for two or three days. The guy that owned it before me hardly ever drove the car i think that had something to do with it. I changed it and haven't had a problem.

Its a "drip drip" leak. Not major leak.
