Bad clutch fluid leak
I had a spec II clutch and Z06 slave installed in january, and lately the clutch has been stickin to the floor. I noticed the fluid needed to be topped off every few days and was really black. Tonight I was out driving and I had no pedal, stopped put some brake fluid in and it was empty by the next light. I'm not sure where to begin, and come to find out the owner closed shop and moved to texas. Any idea's where to start with the leak?

Unfortunately, it's not easy. The first thing I would check is the clutch bleeder valve. It is located on top of the bell housing and you either need a friend with a real skinny arm or a contortionist to get to the valve.

How about a double jointed blonde lol. On a real note though, I noticed it is coming from the bell housing area. I really need to get the car up on a lift! Is it possible for the hydrolic lines to crack over time seeing the car is a 97? I was trying to find a set of SS lines, but did not have any luck.
