Default need advice regarding clutch slave/accumulator

First, clutch was stiff in morning, slave and accumulator were replaced-problem solved. 2 months later, clutch engaged at different points in morning, occasional hissing sound when depressing clutch, and fluid was leaking from front resevior. Clutch slave was replaced- problem solved. 3 weeks later, leakage of fluid from front resevoir, but clutch is working fine. Rear hydraulic resevoir replaced- problem solved. Now, 3 weeks later, leakage of fluid from front resevoir, but clutch is still working fine....
This is frustrating the hell out of me! Anyone have any thoughts on what the problem could be?

i'm sorry not to be of help with your issues, but maybe you can help with mine.
i just got home with my new 2002 & it too needs a accumulator, can you give an idea how much was the repair & how many hours did the repair take?
thanks

my indy shop replaced both the accumulator and slave at the same time. i think it cost about $1400.

I just responded to your thread on 6speed with a very easy way to check and see if your indy overfilled the powersteering reservoir...If he did, you'll get exactly what you're seeing. And if that is the case, I would have a chat with him...
