Best case scenario, air in the lines or blown MC/SC.. when you replace the MC make sure you replace the SC at the same time. BUT you can replace the SC first because it is the easiest and cheapest. It's located near the transmission under the car. You'll have to jack it up to get to it, bleed after you replace it. If that doesn't help then it's the MC. If you replace both, bleed all known air out and it's still no good.. you need a new clutch my friend, worst case scenario.

Well I Googled for the locations myself, couldn't find any pictures.. but they are easy to find. I told you where the slave is.. you can Google for a picture of a replacement slave and master so that you know what to look for when under the car and hood. That said, the MC is under the hood to the right behind the fuel filter on the firewall (standing at the front of the car). Right next to the brake master. It is a long metal tube looking type thing with a reservoir on it. Looks like the brake master but smaller. Hope this helps. If I had pics I would show you but I don't
