here's the problem, my car have been leaking brake fluid for a week, i think my master cyclinder is f***, so i was waiting to get paid tommorrow and replace it. so yesterday when i went to start my car, steped on the clutch and the pedal just kinda went and stuck on the floor, so i have to manually pull it back, i check my clutch fluid and it was empty so i fill it up and still having the same problem. my friend said that i just need to bleed it, so heres my question, it is because of the master cyclinder, or i just need to bleed it, and if i do how do i do it?

Lay,

did you actually crawled under the car on the pass side & peel back the dust boot of the slave cylinder?

there's also a case where the master can develop an "internal leak"
