Default leaky new clutch...help!

A couple months ago I had a SPEC stage 2 clutch installed. The mechanic and I ended on bad terms and will not be going back, but now every 2-3 weeks the clutch fluid runs dry, I re-fill and am good. This doesn't seem to be happening more frequently yet. Any ideas? where to start looking first? any help would be great. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help! -Matt

Check to see if your bleeder valve (on the slave) is tight and not leaking. If no leak, the most likely leak -- without being able to be seen -- would be the slave leaking into (inside) the bell housing. So, I'd pull the slave and at least inspect it for evidence of leakage.

Obviously, look at the firewall (both inside and out) near the master for leaks too.
