Good morning all. I have a 1994 acura integra with 316,000 miles on it. It has a 1.8 liter non-vtec 4 cylinder. I was changing the oil yesterday and I noticed some odd things. The clutch pedal has been sticking about half way down after being engaged and released. I checked the fluid and it was very low. I added quite a bit of fluid just a few weeks ago as well. Usually I’ll add some every month or two. I haven’t noticed any leaks from under the engine . What should I do from here?
Also, I did notice coolant leaking from above the top coolant hose on the left side of the engine from this black cap that is about the size of a half dollar. It has 3SO imprinted on the cap. I don’t know what that is or what it has to do with the coolant system.

I watched the video and it was indeed the master cylinder. I replaced it and the slave cylinder. I spent 2.5 hours with a friend trying to bleed the system and nothing happened at all. What am I doing wrong. I lossen and press, tighten and pull over and over but the reservoir never dropped or showed that fluid was leaving it. What could I be doing wrong? It seems so simple.
It worked perfectly after I bench bled the master cylinder. I have a new problem. I drove the car around to be sure everything was working properly. I then checked the the line to be sure there’s no leaks. Well the brass nut that attaches the clutch line to the slave cylinder is now leaking. When I attached it I made special care not to double thread the connection. But it is leaking out of there. Do I need to use plumbers tape or did I most likely strip the nut? And If I did, what do I do to fix that?
