Default Clutch fluid missing

I did some burnouts on thursday night, and on saturday night I pushed in the clutch and had no pressure. the next day I checked the fluid level and it was dry. I know there must be a leak, but where? I'm going to check shortly but I was just wondering if there is a common place for the line or cylinder to leak so that I can look for the leak there.

Most common would be the line from the master to the trans... if it gets too close to the header it can make a hole. Or the slave is dead and is leaking (see if anything is coming out inbetween the trans and the engine).

It could have just used the fluid... if its been a long time since you have added any. Try filling it up, driving around and see if it goes down. That will help you find the leak too... if there is one.

Another source would be a blown slave. Fill it back up bleef it and look for leaks.

If its missing, just replace it the slave I mean as you really do not need for it to blow out all over the clutch and do some major damage. Look for a tick master cyl.
