Check under the dash where the master cylinder comes through the firewall. Most of the time the master will leak where the rod goes into the master. Also check the slave cylinder. Korey

what year blazer is it. my 99 has an internal concentric slave cylinder. i let it sit for a few months thru a winter (2wd). came back in the spring and found out that the seals on the slave cylinder had worn out and all the fluid was draining into the bell housing. its not hard to change but not fun either. get a haynes or chilton and follow the steps for backing out the tranny. and get alot of rags!!!!!

ok then ur slave cylinder is on the outside of the tranny in pretty plain site, i believe on the drivers side. but if u dont see any leaks then i would rule that out.

my suggestion would be to add fluid into the resevior and have someone press on the clutch pedal while u try and trace where the fluid is headed. listen for any drips inside the bell housing.
