Alright, I'm not to keen on clutch problems, I've been lucky enough not to experience them until now, but heres what I've got...

Step into car, start car, go to engage first and clutch hits the floor, way back to the floor. So I started checking...1)clutch master cylinder refilled it,2)pushed on the clutch3)seemed that fluid was leaking where the rod hits the firewall.

I don't believe the clutch is burnt out, more as it is that there is no pressure being made on the clutch because of the leaking line. What do you think? Any remedys/help?

sounds like your master cylinder is dead. a rebuild kit is like $12 at autozone. it's pretty easy.

you'll probably want to pick up a new/rebuilt slave cylinder while you are there as well. a fresh master will kill the slave cylinder. you don't have to, but it'd be a good idea.
