Check for leaks near the clutch pedal?

Same thing happened to my brothers car. The master took a crap and caused the same reaction. Replace both it's very easy to do. Also check the release spring on the clutch pedal to make sure it's not caught in the way or anything and that it's installed properly. You have to bleed the system very throughly it took me probably 20 times of pumping the pedal to get the air out... and make sure when you install the master you bench bleed it first.

like most impatient teen agers, i just wanted a way to rig it up to see if what i think is the problem, really is the problem. so i was thinking that the prob was that the slave cylinder wasnt pushing the fork all the way. so i put a nut between the slave cylinder and the fork and now it works. so the problem was that the cylinder isnt pushing all the way. i dont want to leave it riged like that. so what do you think the problem is? thanks for all your input.

oh, and everyone that said look for leaks, there are not leaks in the system. i have been constantly checking for leaks because when i first looked my fluid was way below low. but it is staying constant now and i dont see any leaks. thanks again for your input.

Uhhh....I think the problem is the fork isn't getting pushed all the way in and you need to fix it.

If it's an internal master cylinder leak you won't see anything sometimes...it will leak by the seals and stay under the carpet
