Clutch fluid - my car is addicted to the stuff
As far as I know twin/triple plate clutches shouldn't use any more clutch fluid than a regular clutch so my question is "Where is the damn stuff going??" - It's not leaking it anywhere I can see, whilst I had it up on the hoist yesterday I checked all around the underside of the gearbox and engine etc and there are no traces of fluid anywhere.
I've had to fill up the fluid reservior 4 times since I've had black budgie which seems slighly excessive so was wondering if anyone had any ideas as to where it is going or what I can check? Thanks.

Take a look in the foot well, down the below the clutch cylinder. If the seals are leaking you may need a new master cylinder.

^^^WHS, also crawl under ur car and peel back the dust boot on the clutch slave cylinder. it could be leaking internaly, but be careful because if its leaking and you peel the rubber boot back it could squirt you in the eyes...

like stace said, it will be the flexible rubber bit of hose starting to let go.
Common failure point is where the crimps are at the ends.

majority of the time the slave will go before before the master cylinder...
pysically check all hose and connectors master cylinders can be a pain to bleed...
