I just had to change mine. Pedal got a little mushy and the shifter became a little finicky at first. It quickly degraded into a limp pedal and a very very very stiff shifter.
Fluid change might do it, but I suspect if you are leaking fluid a new clutch master cylinder is in order. As for the procedure, I'm not so sure about that, but my mechanic charged for the cmc, fluid, and labor. I'm sure you could get it done cheap if you diy. I've heard cmc price ranges from maybe 75-150??

I replaced mine as well, didn't try to replace the fluid to see if it fixed it. Mine was leaking onto the carpet and had a bit of play when you first touch the pedal.
Bought a replacement at a Honda dealer - was about $95 or so. Pretty straightforward to change out - there are basically two bolts and a hose. It was a pain to get the new fluid in and any air out, you have to get under the car to open up the valve at the slave.

When you go to bleed a slave I found that it helps to have the drain hose in a half full bottle of fluid. This way you can see the air bubbles coming out and know when to stop bleeding. It also keeps it from sucking air back up.

95% of s2k cmc's leak due to dirty fluid.
Change the fluid, keep it clean, the leaking will stop.
No need to bleed. just change whats in the resovoir.

I say go ahead and change the cmc and csc while you're at it. They are cheap (Only $120ish for both) plus some Dot3 brake fluid, and the install it's super easy. You'll have a nice feel in your clutch pedal after that.
It's not worth playing catch with it, and letting to the point where there is no resistance in your clutch pedal... crappy feel, and potentially damaging to your clutch all together.
