Exclamation HELP! Clutch leaking

Hey I have a 1990. So just a couple days ago my clutch started getting really spongy and then it just wouldn't go into gear at all. I added fluid and pumped the clutch then it works for a little bit and then won't go into gear again. The fluid is leaking from somewhere on the driver side(left side). I checked the clutch line and its not leaking from there and I also tried bleeding it and it didn't help. Does anyone know where it might be leaking from?

Clutch slave cylinder, it is common for them to leak from the boot. It is located on the transmission, just follow the lines from the clutch master cylinder.

No.

It's located on the top of the bellhousing and can be replaced from the engine compartment...takes about 15 minutes.

Cool thanks.
Do you have a shop manual for the car and if so could you scan the page and email me, please?
