Clutch pedal stays on the floor. Master cylinder is full and no seen leaks
Every year, I would have to top my clutch reservoir and it’s fine after. I got no leaks also... just topping it off give me back enough pressure. Very strange....
And you are checking inside the cockpit for fluid loss as well, ie pulling back the carpet behind the pedals?

+the area behind the clutch boot where the slave sits in. There's no loss by design.
Just got back from the dealership. The pedal came back and everything works fine. They are ordering a new master and slave cylinder.

You DO have a leak. DO find it as brake fluid is highly corrosive and will destroy metal over time.

Consider:
1. Collecting your old parts and passing them off to somebody else on 'prime. They can be easily rebuilt with factory parts inexpensively.
2. For the DIY's, the use DOT 5 (not 5.1) fluid is a bonus, it is silicone-based and non-corrosive. It will extend the service life your parts to extreme long term. The existing fluid has to be completely cleared out and the reservoir clearly labeled as mixture with other types of brake fluid will do bad things. Note: It can't be used on ABS/ALB as it foams, but for strictly conventional systems it works great.

The one upside of this adventure is that the owner of the dealership let me take out a new NSX for a drive. :smile:
