Hey guys!!!! I have a problem with the pedal sticking to the floor on my 87 turbo. Yes, I have replaced the master as well as the slave cylinders. (and I made sure that neither one was leaking and the bleeder valve is tightened down properly) Once I bleed the clutch it works fine for about a month and then starts acting up again. It has to be the clutch line right?????? I thought I would ask to make sure I am not missing anything here..... thanks

hydraulic systems (brakes, clutch) don't USE fluid. They only lose it. It's a self contained system, and withouth leaks, or parts wearing out, you won't need to add fluid. When adding fluid, there is a problem somewhere. Is your carpet wet? Is there any spots under where you park?

No, my master is fine (its brand new)and so is my slave. I have a leak under the car (seems like it is in the clutch line but I wasn't sure so i thought i would ask, just to make sure it cannot be anything else)........ thanks for your help.

It's a good idea to replace the soft line, as they get old and weak. But, you also want to check the connections on the hard lines as well. They could be leaking where you broke them loose to replace the master and slave, or somwhere else.
