Well for a couple of weeks I had strange little drips appearing under my car, I let it go as random water dripping from the body, because I never "saw" anything drip, and it seemed to be odorless, although felt slightly oily.
Well, one day I start the Civic up and I can't get it into reverse, just grinding grinding. So I jump out and check the clutch master cylinder, lo and behold, it's dry. I rolled the Civic out of my driveway and drove it to the gas station with probably 1/2" of pedal travel to activate the clutch. Fun stuff. Anyway, put a bit of fluid in, but had to work, so I drove it around un-bled all day. Turns out, the slave cylinder was leaking, and quite badly' $15 and 25 minutes later, everything is golden. Sorry for the diatribe, I'm on 24-hr staff duty so I have time to spare writing about nothing.
