Hi there,

If you are adding fluid that often you do have a leak, peel back the rubber boot on the slave cyl and if there is fluid present the cyl should be replaced, to check the master cyl is a bit harder, look up under the dash where the pedal rod is and have a good look for signs of fluid leaking out of the master cyl.

good luck,
