Haha but like I said what you're saying is true and accurate let's just not scare him before we have a full grasp of what he's actually got X) feel me brotha?

Next question though is, how often do you have to top off the fluid before you notice the pedal go limp again? Is it every couple of mins or days? Then yes your csc is bad, if it's every couple of months maybe weeks then I think you're ok.

No, clutch fluid doesn't go down as you use it. If it's empty, it had to go somewhere. When people here have this problem, it's followed very shortly by csc failure. No ones trying to scare anyone. It's just the fact that sudden fluid loss is one of the signs you're about to see your car on a tow truck.

Well that's strange :/ mine goes down every once in a while. I have already if the csc. Replaced twice but I figured it's supposed to drop a little every now and then? I also think it could be because I lost my cap and can't find it for sale anywhere.

It may drop a little over time. A little. There's nowhere for it to go in a closed system. It won't empty itself out without a leak.
