Default 93 accord clutch

the clutch on my 93 accord is having issues, it has always been a bit soft, wouldnt engage until just before the floor.
My girlfriend has been driving it and lately the pedal had been sticking to the floor, she would have to pop it back out with her foot. Yesterday the the pedal stayed on the floor, you can pull it up but it just goes back to the floor. The master cylinder res. is full but the pedal does nothing. My question is. Do my master and slave need replacing or could it be a larger issue? Is this something that I can do on my own? I bought the car last year for $800 and I dont want to put to much money into it, but the engine is fine and I would like to fix it if possible. Any help is appreciated

Ok, after some more research here and checking the car, it looks like there is brake fluid leaking inside of the car, there is also some leaking around the slave cylinder so I am assuming replacement is the way to go. is this something that I can do myself?
thanks
