Default Clutch slippage, losing clutch fluid

I've been losing clutch fluid slowly-- I had my friend pump the clutch but I could see any leaking anywhere so it must be fairly slow, but if I drive say 30 miles stop and go *****, Its visibly lower in the resevoir. My clutch has been slipping a lot lately-- could this be in part because of lower clutch pressure from a leak? And any ideas where it could be leaking from/what could be causing the loss of fluid? any ideas appreciated

places to check for would be the slave cylinder, master cylinder, the braided hose and underneth the clutch pedal (yes inside the car) and that`s prob.ly your case. it oculd leak from the rod seal.

luckily the hydro clutch systems on hondas are easy to troubleshoot and fix.

do the basic stuff mentioned above, you'll find it.

I don`t see hoe the clutch fluid could get into the disk, unless the slave cylinder is blinding
