Hi folks, got a question for anyone kind enough to help.

2001 Elantra, 5speed. While driving, I noticed the clutch lost pressure.
When I checked the reservoir, it was bone dry. (80k miles, I thought it was
full, but it was the cap i saw inside, not fluid)

I've refilled the res, and the clutch operates, but loses pressure, and
needs to be pumped occasionally to regain full pressure. I've noticed no
leaks at all at any of the fittings, no puddles, or telltale signs of leaks.
I've put 20k miles on it since late January when I bought it (I'm a field
service technician for an electronics co.) and it just started this problem
today.

I see what I think is a bleeder screw underneath my air box, but not
terribly certain on how to bleed it if that is the problem. Has anyone had
a similar problem, or does anyone know if something in the system has
failed, even though I can't see any leaked fluid? (and I haven't been able
to find a chilton's manual at my local parts stores)

If I've left out any vital info, let me know and I'll respond asap.

Thanks for any help.

Andre
