dude its your slave cylinder,, check your clutch fluid, if you donot know how to do this open your hood, now on the back on the engine bay towards the drivers side theres to fluid contianers with grey lids on them, the one on the left is the bigger of them is the break fluid, the one on the right is the clutch fluid and thats the smaller one, open the lid if its low fill up with break fluid like (dot 3 0r 4) does not matter,, the boot on the prelude breaks and it causes a leak, what youll need to do after to fill it up is pump your clutch pedal alot and make sure before you do this the lids back on so the pressure will build up..
the slave cylinder is normal for given out over time because it get a bluild up of sludge like break lines do and fuel filters to and to keep this from happening u would need to perge the lines all the time to keep it clean but if you donot have the pump to do that your SOL but the dealership will do this.. The slave cylinder cost around $50 bones and around $80 for the install but you can put it in yourself buy youll need to make sure to get all air out of the lines.
someone with a 4th gen told me his went out also around this mileage time like mine and your has and he said it was only a few more thousand miles and his clutch took a crap on him, mine has not yet knock on wood
