Default Help clutch problem C6

I have a 2007 C6 6 speed bought last May, 2300 miles on it and put away from November until today. Ran it every two weeks during winter to keep seals fresh. Took it out today for the first time and the clutch is slipping terribly. Checked the transmission fluid and it was down to the minumum line. Where did the fluid go. I was told that the car has an internal slave cylinder which went bad and the fluid leaked onto the clutch, thus the slipping. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Will it be covered under warranty? What should be replaced.

Not happy, as the car is not even broken in.

Help...

Thanks,

Droz

You probably checked the clutch cylinder fluid. It may have lost fluid but probably was a little low to start with. You need to take it to the dealer and see why it's slipping and have it fixed.

Why wouldn't it be covered under warranty?

Why would it not be covered under warranty - I have read many posts that say a dealer won't honor warranty because of modifications, regardless if the problem is not directly related to the mods.
