Right, the Maint. Req. light and the funny feel in ur clutch pedal have nothing to do with each other. My car does the same thing with the clutch, and it really is a pain in the arse.

If you've ever bled brake lines, that would give you a head start on bleeding the clutch. The clutch bleed valve is under the hood however, right in front of your engine. It's a little nipple that sticks out towards the radiator on the passenger side.

Once you locate that nipple, you can start the bleeding procedure, usually having two people. One person is at the clutch, pumping it up and down, FULLY, with your HAND, because your clutch is too weak to come back up to regular position on its own. The other person at the bleed nipple will losen the nut that it's attached to and perform the bleeding until all the air is out of the system. Your clutch will get back to it's normal strength.

As you're bleeding, make sure you keep an eye on the clutch fluid reservoir under the hood next to the brake fluid reservoir. Clutch fluid is the same as brake fluid, so use DOT 3 fluid to maintain a healthy level.

If you're worried about it happening again, keep an eye once a week on your clutch fluid reservoir. If it's getting low on fluid, simply keep adding fluid to keep a healthy level. If you don't, once the clutch is pressed, u risk the chance of sucking more air back into the system.

It's easy, trust me, and sorry i typed so much. No worries, prolly a leak somewhere, have it checked out if you're so worried about it. It's prolly not a big deal.
