loosing clutch fluid but no leak - HondaClub.com

This is so weird. I own a 97 honda civic with a d15b motor. I keep adding clutch fluid but I dont have or notice any leakage from any part of the car. I checked under the car but I dont find any puddles. Is this normal? Please help.

the fluid may not be pouring onto the floor, it could be leaking onto something hot and burning up before it ever makes it to the floor or somewhere that will stay wet.

that is true. my friend had this problem once and it turned out to me a faulty clutch slave cylinder. and since the master is a huge part of the system plus it was old we replaced both.

I would have to agree with both statements. It's not uncommon for fluids to "vanish."

I have recently experienced the same issue with my 93 Si - 237K on it and clutch fluid was mysteriously disappearing - turned out to be a bad O-ring in the slave cylinder - considering the miles on my car, I replaced the slave cylinder and the hard line and the flex line at the transmission end, and flushed the entire system with DOT 4 fluid. The clutch has not felt that good in years.
