Most of the time it is a leak.
Check lines and check the slave and master cylinder.
Inspect them really good as it is tuff to tell sometimes that they are leaking.

yes it can, things have go give out some time. If it is a small leak you might not have noticed it until today, but it could have had symptoms for a while now

Well hopefully it will stay that way. But it sounds like the start of intermittent engagement point problems. Just make sure you keep an eye on it.

master cylinder.. its probably leaking internally... check under your floormats on driver side.. where the pedals go.. u should be able to feel a greasy wetness
