Clutch fluid leaking onto floor from clutch pedal

I have a 93 nissan pathfinder XE and had the clutch replaced around 50k miles ago. i have noticed that i will lose pressure in the clutch pedal when my reservoir is empty. so will add new fluid to it and pump the clutch pedal a few times and it seems to work again. then i noticed it was dripping the clutch fluid from the pedal onto my floor beneath the pedal. how can i fix this issue?

If the seals around the shafts of master and slave are tight, they may be concealing a leak with fluid bypassing the piston seals internal to the two assemblies. Either your master or slave cylinders need to be replaced ot have new seals installed. Once you find the culprit and have installed a replacement, you will have to bleed the lines to evacuate air trap in the lines.

check the actual pedal and clutch linkage.  Also look for a fitting thats emitting air into the system.

SOURCE: Abnormal clutch pedal operation

You've replaced the master, the slave, now I would check to see if the throwout fork will move by hand. If you can move the fork by hand I would say that your pressure plate and or throwout bearing are worn out. First try to just gravity bleed the system. If that doesnt work, it may be time for a clutch, pressure plate, and bearing. The pressure plate spring pushes the pedal back up and depending on how many miles and driving habit those little arms on it break off and just wear out. I hope this helps you.

SOURCE: While driving my 1994 Honda Accord the brakes went

There may be air in the lines. Bleed all your brakes starting at the farthest wheel from the resevoir, and finishing at the closest one. Try the pedal after its bled. If the pedal still feels soft or travels to the floor there may be a pinhole leak that may be spraying on the underbody of the car, or the seals in the master cylinder are gone filling the vacuum booster(if equipped). Air compresses more than oil so if bleeding works that may be the problem.

SOURCE: the clutch pedal dropped to the floor....was no

The clutch pedal assembly made of ABS plastic has a small lip holding clutch master cylinder. If the lip breaks, your clutch master cylinder assembly will shoot away from firewall & your clutch pedal will drop to the floor. Usually you will hear a loud bang when it breaks while depressing the clutch pedal. You can purchase the clutch master cylinder assembly with aftermarket & it looks just like the GM brand only over $100 cheaper. The Clutch pedakl assembly cost aprox $85.00 at a GM dealer. Bought mine online for $65.00 Org. GM part. Be aware removing & replacing the clutch pedal assembly is a real pain as theirs limited sight & room to work under the dash

The cylinder was empty this morning in the 1990 pathfinder for the clutch, pedal went to floor, filled master cylinder and holding fluid but pedal is still on floor. What to do....

you need to inspect the clutch hydraulic system to look for a leak.check in the truck were the master cylinder bolts to the firewall as if the master is leaking out the back it will show up the leak in this area.check around the master under the hood to see if there are signs of it leaking.check at the transmission were the slave cylinder is as this is another place they leak.if you have to fill the master because its empty there is a leak somewhere.you also may need the clutch replaced as the slave cylinder moves out to adjust for wear of the clutch which will lower the fluid level but not cause it to be empty.you will have to bleed the clutch system at the slave cylinder,there should be a bleeder screw to do this.if you find the leak in the clutch system you will have to replace the system as some come complete master lines and slave.some come with just the slave,lines,master as separate components.

Nissan clutch problem

If your not able to shift into any gear that means your clutch is not engage/disengaging. Check for fluid leaks, you said topped off and fluid levels were low? It sounds like you have a Slave cylinder or master cylinder leak, if its leaking its bet to replace both.
