Alright so for the past month I've been having these random moments where as I'm stopped my clutch pedal would sink down and I'd have to pull it up with my foot. So I figured it could be my clutch slave cylinder so I installed it last night, bled the line and everything and it was fine. Now today after work my clutch had no pressure at all and I couldn't get the car into any gear. I checked the master cylinder and it was at the max mark so I don't think there's any leaks in the system. Could it be the clutch master cylinder that was causing the issue the whole time?

Bummer to hear about your clutch problem. The master could be failing, but I would rebleed the slave again before going and replacing the master cylinder.
Get under the car, wipe down the lines, and have someone else pump the clutch repeatedly in order to see if the lines have a pin hole leak or a bad seal.
