If you've lost fluid and you need to top it up then it has gone somewhere, check master and slave cylinder!

That's not a clutch adjuster, it should not need adjusting, it's only for pedal height. If it's adjusted wrong you can do some serious damage to the clutch.

Enzed or pirtek can do it, or remove the whole line and replace it!

just thought id post a resolution here if anyone is interested.
got a new hydraulic hose made up by enzed on the spot. $41.00 then installed it and had a little bit of trouble bleeding .
pumped clutch lots of times and then undid nipple etc, but clutch didnt seem to be getting any better as pedal was still sticking to the floor.
anyways after a google others had found that taking the slave cylinder off and bleeding helped as the air could get trapped as the nipple points down.
so i did this and clutch was instantly better. couple more bleeds and she's all sweet

i had this problem where the clutch pedal is sticking to the floor. I have found no leaks or loss of fluid from the reservoir. I changed the slave cylinder today and problem still remains. Also the lines have been bled. Any ideas anyone?

bleed the clutch from the nipple on slave cylinder back up to the reservoir you cant bleed a clutch circuit like a brake circuit you dont need to pump the clutch pedal just keep an eye on level on your clutch reservoir so it dont overflow and spill fluid on your paint

@Tanny,

Its prob ur master cylinder. I had the same issue as u, turns out the master cylinder had failed and didnt really move the fluid ard to make the clutch pedal go bak up. Its prob blocked, especially if u can see a lot of black stuff in the reservoir.
