    air in system
    loss of fluid
    bad slave seal
    bad master cylinder
    leak somewhere else
    leak into gearbox (gearbox crack)
    There is a start...

    Start by observing if fluid in reservior is below intake of clutch master
    fill with fluid
    bleed clutch w/ car rear 1.5 ft in air 2 man method
    look to see if grate under gearbox is wet with oily fluid=trans oil leak or brake fluid leak. How do you tell? Brake fluid eats paint so put some of the fliud on a discarded paint surface

    Not hard at all. A total DIY job. Run a search of the archives as it has been discussed in the past.
