Default clutch acting up, is it dieing?

when i run my car hard or for a long time the clutch pedel gets really soft like 1/2 down and just falls. it did it alot when i got the car so i bleed the fluid and used ate super blue. that stoped it for a while but tonight it started doing it again. someone said that my clutch is on its way out is this true?
it always grabs and i never feel it slip.

when I first got my 94 LS, the clutch was just about gone, the pedal was REALLY soft, like, it felt like nothing was there, it was NOT slipping though. like I could hit 4th and you could feel it grab, but with hydraulic clutches it sucks cause they readjust themselves so you could have clutch one time, then the next day it could be gone, take the soft pedal as a warning. Go out there and get something nice, if you got a friend that works at a place that can get clutches that helps. Mine was close to $500 and I got it discounted at $270. I would either get someone to look at it, or get another man. don't risk it....I got a video of a type R racing a mustang, drops into 3rd, goes to hit 4th, and it was gone. He was left on the side of the highway, you don't want that to happen.

ever replaced your clutch master cylinder? if not, look down where your clutch pedal connects inside the car under the dash....is there fluid leaking down? if so, replace your clutch MC...might be the culprit

check the slave cylinder area on your engine for fluid leaking as well.. mine would only leak when it was hot, and the clutch would go soft, but pressure would come back once it cooled off for a bit.
