Default CLUTCH pedal SINKS!!!

Hey i know theres alot of threads on this and i did do my share of searching but i have not found a direct answer for my problem...i have a 95 integra with a 98 motor(ls also) when i wake up in the morning and go to start my car the clutch pedal has no pressure and sinks to the floor, so i have to put my toe under it and pull it up and then pump it to get pressure and start and drive away. The car drives fine until i drive it on the highway for about 10 mins and then go 2 downshift and get off the exit for work it sinks again and i have to pull it up and pump it again. when the clutch is working "normal" the clutch has about 1-2" of play at top end like dead pressure b4 it gets hard and the cruise control suddenly didnt work after this problem started....from what i see its either my M/C my S/C or it needs to be bled...im hoping it just needs to be rebled but any other suggestions?? thanxs alot

Check for leaks around the slave and on the floor up under the clutch pedal.

You probably need a new clutch master cylinder or clutch slave cylinder.

Gauranteed its your slave cylinder, follow your clutch pedal and feel around the fire wall, if your hand comes out all grimey, slimey and dirty your leaking fluid and time to swap it over.

That would be the master cylinder. The slave is the one in front of the tranny.

If you cant find any leaks and the reservoir is still full then try bleeding the system, maybe there is air in the lines.

NO LEAKS FOUND from the engine bay side of the Master Cyl. or the inside firewall side by the clutch pedal OR from the Slave Cyl. over by my headers....the pedal sinks to the floor at stop lights every now and then unless i constantly pump the clutch while im slowing down i found that out today...so im thinking it needs to be bled...im gonna do it tomorrow ill let u guys know
