Clutch fluid leaking in car?

i had my tranny rebuilt and clutch replaced 4 months ago

3 days after i got the car back i woke up one morning to no clutch fluid.
this was the problem i previously had with the car in the first place

after a while of putting up with this mess of putting fluid in it every week i started to wonder and look for leaks.

just today i found a lot of black liquid coming out of my clutch line that goes into the firewall (made sense why my carpet slowly was turning black.

What the hell do i do?

did you check your clutch master cyclinder? start from where its leaking at, start with fresh fluid, fill it to the stop and start pressing your clutch and see where its coming from and follow it

Replace the master cylinder (or rebuild with a new piston & seal kit). The seal inside has gone bad, causing fluid to leak past the seal.
