Default clutch pedal question

Soo ive been reading on here that having dirty clutch fluid can cause slight grinding going into gears.

Now my question is can dirty clutch fluid cause your clutch pedal to feel a lil spongy?? Also would it cause my clutch fluid to go a lil lower then max??

It is known that many clutch master cylinders leak. Therefore lower fluid level and spongy pedal.

I change them more frequently now after experiencing leak due to dirty fluid. Since I started to change them more frequent, the problems are gone.

You have a slight clutch Mc leak under the dash.

Clean out res spotless with paper towels then refill. Do so every 5-7 K.

99% chance the leak will stop completely... Guaranteed.

Well after I drained and filled the res and pumping the pedal a few times the fluid got clear and the pedal feels much better... but now that you say the cmc may be leaking ima keep an eye on the fluid level to see if it goes down... hopefully it doesnt go down
