I'm with George all the way on this one... pump the clutch pedal and see if that helps.

I will say though that I have had to bleed that system if the seals are in very good shape... But if there is a minor fluid leak, I've never had to.

My 1800 used to lose all its fluid overnight when cold. I found that if I stretched a little bit, I could open the bleed valve and get a finger over it, and pump the pedal with the other hand... Took me about 30 seconds to bleed the system every morning.

And yes... regular old brake fluid.
