is there any fluid noticeable on the inside of the car? sometimes they leak internally as well.

You won't see the master cylinder leaking, it's the seals inside. Put a master cylinder on it.

For the clutch, try bleeding it.

have you bled the brakes? air trapped in the lines will make the pedal softer and travel farther.

also, try and look around the calipers and brake hoses in and around the wheels. and in the rear [if drums] look at the backside of the drums [meaning the inboard side] so see if they are wet. I had wicked brake fluid leaks on my mustang but no drips on the ground. just happened to drip on other parts and collect dirt and turn into some kind of funky goo.
