I have a 2000 Hyundai Accent and my clutch fluid is empty. When refilling, how do I bleed it and where would the most possible place for a leak be located?

Leak is usually at the slave cylinder. If leaking, replace the slave. Make sure to bench bleed the slave and plug its port before installing. refill the reservoir and bleed the system. To bleed, open bleeder at slave, have an assistant step on the pedal, and close the bleeder before they let the pedal up. Repeat until all air is out. If you have questions, please let me know.

2000 hyundai elantra leaking clutch fluid, when low or empty lose clutch, then refill clutch works fine, leaking under car

The clutch hydraulic system is very simple, just 3 pieces. There is the clutch master cylinder with attached fluid reservoir-mounted on the firewall, there is a steel line from the master going down to the transaxle bell housing, and there is the clutch slave cylinder on the bell housing that the steel line connects to.
If yours is leaking under the car, it is probably the slave cylinder, either that or the steel line. Either one should be easy to replace.

2008 hyundai accent clutch slipping, i think?

seems a bit early for clutch. how many k's? I would start by checking the intake tube for splits & security & airflow sensor. they will cause the engine to rev but no response (like a slipping clutch) so its manual right?

Hyundai Accent 2002 My clutch fluid is completely empty. Can I just add more or do I have to bleed the line or something?

You have a bad part, the slave, the line, the master, one of them has sprung a leak and must be fixed before you put fluid in and bleed it.
Generally you can find a big stain where the leak is, and on some cars you buy the whole system as a unit, pre-bled.

Clutch is not working. Pedal goes all the way to the floor. Fluid is empty and slave cylinder spring is out. Have a new slave cylinder to put on but will this fix my problem???

Have noticed a leak in the area of your slave cyl? You you have a new one will fix the problem. just install it add fluid, bleed it, ( add fluid reinstall the cover, have someone help or just take the bleed screw loose let the new fluid drain thru. get in and pump the pedal ck the fluid in the res. add fluid. keep this back and forth till you feel a good pedal. done. Work slow, be careful.
