yeah at first it doesn't seem like the clutch itself but what I found was that the engagement point was quite low. I adjusted it via the adjustment screw behind the pedal. What I found was that once I turned the adjustment screw clockwise to lift the engagement point it almost went away completely. Then it would return gradually within a week or so. I somehow feel like the leak is inside the cylinder itself.

I was wondering if the TSX clutch cylinders might be compatible. It seems like I can get a set posted from the US for around $200.
