Lost Clutch Pressure...
Hey everyone. I was in NorCal for a few days for work and left the teggy in the airport parking lot. As I started her, there was NO clutch pressure. I pumped the clutch and got some pressure back so I drove her home. As I was on the local streets, same behavior, so I pumped the clutch and was able to make it home.
Slave cylinder resevoir was empty. Filled it back up pumped the clutch and got pressure back. I checked the back of the floor board behind the clutch pedal and found some fluid. Now she loses slight pressure but with a few pumps it comes back.
Some background...replaced the clutch 3 mos ago and have a new master cylinder.I've done research on the forums and what I've found leads to the theory that it's the slave cylinder but wanted your input. Thanks!

since you've recently replaced your master... it seems weird that it would already be leaking... but if you have fluid on the firewall... that's due to your master... not your slave
I had the same problem. Lost pressure because my clutch master cylinder was leaking. I had the clutch replaced and when I purchased the master cylinder from Acura they asked me if there was fluid dripping inside the car. He said there's a bulletin posted on the part number that if there is fluid leaking inside the car, you would also need to purchase the tube/line that goes from the clutch master cylinder to a connection on the firewall. I don't know if that has anything to do with it or not, but mine's been fine for over a month now. The extra tube was $15.
