You should have posted this update in your old thread ( https://www.zdriver.com/forums/300zx-z32-forums-7/clutch-fluid-26280/ ) so we can all remember what has or hasn't been done yet.

Bad fluid wouldn't really cause that problem. You have a leak. Get under the car, have a friend repeatedly pump the clutch... look around.

i'm betting that it's inside. it can soak into the carpet

Not very likely. If the gasket that seals the piston at the clutch master cylinder was leaking, it would likely leak more down the firewall. And if it's leaking down his firewall, brake fluid strips paint - he'd see that very clearly.

i don't know. it's happened to me before. don't remember if it was in the z or the midget though

i tried looking for signs of leak but i don't see any, the fluid is leaking quite slowly within two weeks or so i need to add some more, even with someone pumping the clutch i didn't see anything
could it be the slave cylinder leaking?

my seal went out on my master leaked INTO the cabin... its the damnedest thing but it happens.

KasbeKZ

it could be. it could be anywhere. you will just have to clean every potential spot REALLY well. maybe put some kind of powder on it so that it's more evident if it gets wet. if that makes sense. but you couldn't drive it in the rain then. i don't know

Slave cylinders are problematic on Z32's. Did you get under the car and look like I said to do? Because if you're asking that question, I'll bet you didn't. Clearly the leak is slow, but it must exist.

Put a piece of cardboard under the slave cylinder area when it's parked. Check it the next day. If there's a stain on it, it's leaking.

Goofyz

is when its new, it dries quickly and doesn't leave much of a stain on concrete. You might need to leave some cardboard under the car overnight and check it in the morning to find where it’s leaking from, like that guy above me said. Do you still have the stock exhaust on this car? Is your commute long? Perhaps you are burning it off.

3riCJbOi

yes i have the stock exhaust and i place a cardboard under the and there were some stains on it, not much but there was a bit
So i guess the slave cylinder is leaking

ZLover4Life

Lucky it's that and not something else - slave cylinders are cheap. I recommend also getting a braided stainless steel line while you're at it - the line could be the source of the leak and the braided line will also increase pedal feedback.

Yeah, just replace the slave and master.
