Can not locate leaking clutch fluid

Maintenance/Repairs

Hello - I own a Jeep Wrangler 1993. The car has not been used often - the mileage is now 70K.



I have owned several Wranglers and never experienced problem with the clutch. Last year the clutch pedal dropped to the floor. I went to a repair shop - I paid for new master cylinder, new slave cylinder and new clutch pads. They did not present the used parts and I did not ask for them. Immediately the clutch pedal was soft. They adjusted and it seemed OK - not perfect.



Now one year later the pedal dropped again



to the floor. I went to a different shop - which I know and I trust - they changed the master cylinder and the pedal pressure returned to normal.



Now - 5 weeks later there pedal has dropped



again. I checked the master cylinder and it was empty – there is no fluid in the car near the pedal – no fluid on the line to the transmission and



no fluid on the transmission case. Before I pay to open the transmission – do you have a suggestion? Why and where is the fluid



escaping to?



thanks

Did you pull up the carpet under the pedals and look? I had a master cylinder go bad, and could only tell when you pulled up a corner of the carpet.

Hello – thanks for the reply-- I’ll look again at the flexible hose – I just filled the master cylinder again – and the clutch feels “normal” now.The gears are changing normally. Could it be a slow leak which is absorbed by the clutch pad ?
