What should I do if my Kia Rio is leaking?
It’s probably hydraulic and if so should be reasonably straight forward to diagnose. Check the fluid level, try flushing the fluid to see if that helps, otherwise you’re looking for a cylinder fault. If the slave cylinder is leaking, that’s the problem. Otherwise, the problem is probably at the master cylinder end of things.
Are there any problems with the Kia Rio hatchback?

Why does my Kia Rio have a low biting point?

Why does my Kia not go into gear?
When I left work yesterday it wouldn’t go into any gear, apart from reverse although that was with a big crunch (ouch!) then a judder similar to when you stall a car, although it didn’t actually stall. After that, it went into gear fine. It’s not doing it every time.

Sounds similar to my 2009 ceed, when gearbox oil is cold getting into 1st and the change to 2nd is always hard to get into as it needs to be below 2000 rpm and slower than normal shift. Once you have driven a mile or two the gearbox works fine.

Just enjoy the car, and have fun driving it 1.25 ‘2’.
Why does my Kia Rio squeal in reverse?
1.25 ‘2’. I’ve had clutch judder and a nasty grouchy/squeal in reverse when the car has been stood for a few days in wet and cold.It goes after a few miles, so at every service, the dealer has never heard anything. I suspect clutch release bearing.
