Thanks a lot for all the advices... I feel a little embarrassed for asking this silly questions and I appreciate all the feedback and kind responses

I promise to post some pics of the car too as soon as possible... The car was build in 2002 and has a built 351W with a Tremec 5 speed transmission (not sure on the model)... It has 39k miles... It's silver with black stripes

My plan of attack for the weekend will be to:

A) Check the fluid level (use finger method, seems the easiest)... The reservoir is located on the driver's side, behind the break reservoir (metal with a black cap on top)... Hopefully that's the one... If fluid is low (which, if I have a leak, most probably is), will top it off... Any brand/type anyone recommends? I read that is better to look for a dot 3 than a dot 5?

B) Check in the footwell (I do have carpet) for any signs of fluid

C) Put the car on jack stands and try to follow the line to the slave cylinder (hopefully I will find it!)... Is there an specific location to place the jack stands that is recommended?

D) Try to clean the line as good as possible to allow me to see if there are any leaks

D) Ask my wife to get in the car and press the clutch pedal (after I have topped it off) and check for leaks

E) Take as many pictures as possible and come back to the forum for advice on bleeding the clutch if there are no visible leaks in the lines that need to be fixed/replaced

Sounds like a decent plan?

I guess the hardest part will be to find out the model of the master cylinder and slave cylinder if I need to replace them

Thanks again!
