Default Slave Cyl Fluid Level Question

Hey everyone.

I have a earlier ver of the Tick Perf Master Cyl and a Textrailia OZ700 Z grip clutch and a 02+ Slave Cyl all less then 5k miles, the master has about 2k on it.

I did adjust it out a bit and the car shift great, and still shifts great.

I noticed peddle pressure as being pretty firm, just a step under Cable clutch when the weather was COLD (like in January).

It has softened a little and the engagement point has lowered, I am like ooooook. I decided to inspect the fluid, its clear, which is cool but the level as I take the black rubber boot out is about 1/3 if the size of the container. I useually fill like 1/2 and then put the boot in.

I have no fluid with me and with Memorial today I will get some tommorrow morning and see how it effects the pedal feel.

Now the reason this pequed my intrest was due to cleaning the car I noticed some spots on my floormat that reminded me of brake/clutch fluid. I am just wondering if I had too much fluid or if it was adjusted too much out. It just seemed odd.

Joey, I will PM you but I figure I'd throw this out for the crowd.

:UPDATE:

There is def a leak back there and it got on the carpet that reaches up to the fire wall. I PM'ed Joey and waiting to hear back. Looks like a seal blew out. The car shifts but its something that will fail and leave me stuck, so I gotta decide what to do.
