Default Troubleshooting Clutch

K real quick cause i saw a number of posts on this already. I'm just trying to avoid replacing the clutch.
Car: 93' Del Sol
Problem: Didn't drive the car for a day, went to go to work..."holy crap where's the clutch." It's an aftermarket kevlar type clutch put in about a year and a half ago, i don't do anything crazy with it so i really don't think it's the mechanism itself... that being said .. i have a little pressure in the hydrolic line, as well as plenty of fluid. I've got the master cylinder leaking from the piston inside the floor board (just a little/ not gushing). Is this enough of a leak to force the clutch not to engage?

I didn't notice any slipping the day before or anythin, and at first i could put it in gear(that morning), having to give it gas as soon as i take the slightest pressure off. Secondly occasionally it will work fine. It didn't sound like "slipping to me." IS there something i'm not thinking of??

Plan on replacing the cylinder tomorrow and see if that helps ... after that, i'd hate to tear open everything for no reason.....err... no other reason
