Pull the carpet and pad away from the floor on the driver's side and see if there's fluid.

If there is, you've got a leak and you might as well replace/rebuild master and slave.

You got any smells associated with the clutch? You know what a hot clutch smells like?

Good luck.

replaced both clutchmaster,and slave cyl. bled system. everything ok. only problem was the master cyl. clutch peddle rod had the attaching hole too small. so we had to use the one off the old master.
thanks for asking

Glad to hear it worked out for you. I'm going to do mine soon as I've got ALL the symptoms: hard shifting, low fluid, traces of fluid on driver's floor.

I can take a hint...:L
