Default Clutch problem...

Hey guys...

So hears my little story. My car has around 60k miles on it and its great. So my brother discovers something is leaking in my car...doesn't tell me anything about it. Then my other brother tells me there is something leaking from my car. He tells me and it looks perfectly clear like water. It felt just like water with a little oily feeling(I didn't have my AC btw). I just thought that it may have gotten that from the dirty black top or something. I check all of my fluids. Everything is perfect as can be. The fluids I can't check are my Tranny and clutch fluid....so I go over my girlfriends house and left blah blah. Her dad told her to tell me that my car leaked a LOT of something in their driveway. He said it looked like brake or steering fluid and it was oily. soooo I go check all of my fluids and they are perfect. I put pans under my cars clutch and tranny and nothing was caught. I kinda figured it was just because of the humidity and it wasn't really from my car. So I let it go. About a week later I did 2 WOT shifts and...my clutch feels as soft as toilet paper.

So my clutch is still working. I haven't tried to spin the tires to see if its still gripping that much...kinda scared haha. The clutch hasn't been completely slipping though. I just have to give it some gas if i'm in reverse sometimes. And my shifts are extremely smooth when I let the clutch out fairly quickly. Good for the passengers right? hahaha.

Anyways, those are my 'symptoms'

Where can I find a way to refill my clutch with brake fluid or just check it...if thats even possible.

Thanks for helping and reading that big post.

EDIT: Btw, I know its not going to "heal" my clutch. I just don't want it to get any worse.

My neon is an '02. I am almost possitive that those and up had hydraulic clutches.

01-05 Neons have hydraulic clutch systems...the only 2nd Gens with cable clutches are the 2000 Neons.
