I have fluid for the clutch. Pedal sticks to the floor.
What I usually do is just refill clutch fluid every now and
then, because of a slow leak. Now that doesn't work. When
the car is on, clutch is down, and then I can't shift into gear.
What do you all think?

 

It's obvious you need to locate the leak and fix it. It's extremely hard to have a hydraulic line work with a leak.

You can also try bleeding the clutch line again.

That pretty much covers it.

Not to familiar how to bleed the clutch.
As for as the leak. Would this be something?
only under the hood or possibly inside the
car as well.

 

Check your floorboard on the dirver's side. Then check your slave cylinder. It is located where your tranny connects to your engine block. It is black with a plunger on it.

Check to make sure the line that connects to the slave cylinder is tight on the slave cylinder.

thanks for the info
I'll keep you guys posted on the results

 

Ok, I have a sticky situation above the clutch pedal.
There seems to be a bunch of guke on the hydraulic
piece. There is also grease there on the carpet of the
floorboard. So guessing this is where the leak is. What
do I do next?

 

One time this happen and I had to move the car. So I put it in 1st gear and
started it. I could drive it in first, and move it. Now if I turn it on in first with the
clutch to the pedal it will stall out. The same in any gear i'm
in. How do I bleed the clutch?

 

You probably need a new clutch master cylinder and it wouldn't hurt to replace the slave cylinder at the same time. The master is ~$40-50 and the slave is ~$20-25.

To bleed the clutch, make sure there is plenty of fluid in the master cylinder reservoir, attach a hose to the bleeder screw on the slave cylinder and dip it in a bottle of brake fluid. Then pump the clutch pedal till there aren't anymore bubbles coming out of the slave cylinder hose. The fluid in the reservoir will drop fast, so make sure it doesn't get too low and suck air in (then you'll have to start over again).

That's immediately what I thought when he explained further.

I would first replace the clutch master cylinder (the one connected to your clutch pedal), bleed the system, and test.

 

Well, Its fixed.
I ended up bleeding the clutch, and it fixed the problem.
At first I was trying to bleed the clutch with the valve top on.
duahhh that was something I learned the hard way. bleeding
the clutch with the valve top on fixed it.
