clutch problems

[brandon94ranger]

i got a 94 ranger, 5 sp. manual with hydraulic clutch, im constantly putting oil in reservoir for clutch, but its not improving, the oil levels keep decreasing, there is no oil dripping on the ground, but i do notice wet spot on bottom of transmission, close to the engine, foot pedal goes almost to floor, before i can build up pressure,(i pump the pedal a few times to get pressure), what is the possible cause and what could be a solution???

The cause should be obvious... You have a fluid leak! Usually where you describe the wet spot you will need a new slave cylinder.. If you hesitate you will be left somewhere and it won't shift to get you home..

Sounds like the slave cylinder is shot.

FYI--Clutch city online has a complete clutch kit for $275 shipped, it includes new clutch disc, pressure plate, slave cylinder, throwout bearing and pilot bearing.
