Default I belive master clutch cylinder failed. Or could I have blowen the clutch out?

Well lately, I have been noticing that I've had to add small amounts of break fluid to the clutch reservoir. Yesterday the pedal hit the ground and would not come back up. So I pulled over bleed the system with a buddy. Got pedal pressure back, because I noticed that there was no fluid... WTF?!!! Okay so where is this loss of fluid going?

So we got everything work after bleeding the air out of the system. Got home last night, and the pedal hit the floor again. There is no sign of loss of fluid in the break reservoir. Could the break master cylinder failed? Or is this a sign of a clutch gone bad... Any insight would be great thanks guys.

look to see where it is leaking from. maybe you are just loosing fluid and the system gets air bubbles in it. the brake and clutch are seperate from each other

Get under the dash and look where the clutch pedal bolts to the master. If the master is leaking from the internal seal, your firewall will be wet.
