Default Master Cylinder empty

So yesterday I thought my clutch pedal felt different, like that little spot at the top was somewhat less pronounced. Then today the pedal isn't fully returning on my way to work, I had to pull it back up sometimes and it would pop back into place. When I got to work I looked at the MC and it's dry. Bad MC? How much should this cost to get replaced?

Slave cylinder recall. Might also want to invest in a Willwood master cylinder. I am.

I would suspect you have a slave cylinder problem.

How much should I be expecting if it's a slave cylinder replacement?

Also I called and checked and the slave cylinder recall was already performed back in 08. So I guess I'm out of luck as far as that goes eh?

Look for the leak. Fluid is either coming out of the bell housing or out of the back of the master cylinder onto the floorboards

Took it to the dealer and they couldn't find a leak. They refilled it and its back to its old self now, so I'm just gonna watch the fluid level and see what time does.

If it does return and I have to replace they sc/mc I'll definitely upgrade them, but now for I'm just happy driving it again.
