Last week on a very cold day my clutch stopped working on my way to work. It got very stiff all of a sudden and went to the floor. I checked the reservoir and it was empty. Added more fluid and it all leaked out. The car was warmed up before I drove it. No previous signs of any problems and no fluid on garage floor. What could cause this and how can I find it?
