Got in my S this afternoon and noticed that my clutch engagement point was now almost at the floor? It used to be almost immediately when the petal was pushed. I didn't notice it this morning. Any idea what this could be?

Check your fluid level.

The fluid is low. Below the minimum line but I can still see the fluid in the reservoir under the hood. Could this be my problem?

This is a good place to start. When air gets in the line your clutch engagement will not be correct.

Was just curious because it will only take a shot glass to fill it up to the full line. doesn't really make sense that it would cause this.

Guess your not familiar with how a hydraulic clutch works. I'll say it again, if there is ANY air in the line at all, the clutch engagemant will not feel correct. Sometimes not work at all.

You probably have air in the system due to lack of fluid. I would suggest you check for leaks (fluid just doesn't go away) and then do a complete flush and fill and bleed of the system to correct the problem. When you are looking for leaks check inside the cabin where the clutch pedal meets the firewall.

If you just top it up, the air should work its way out over time, it usually wont make its way down to the slave, its just up top and will come out with a bit of movement on the pedal.
