Slave cylinders will typically leak when they're bad. If you're sucking air (getting air in the lines) or the brakes just don't engage when you press the pedal or if the brake pedal fades to the floor; it's a master cylinder.
The clutch pedal assembly has a clutch rod that pushes in on a clutch master cylinder. There is a hydro line that goes from the master cylinder to the slave cylinder.
The master clutch cylinder is attached to the clutch pedal. When one depresses the pedal hydraulic fluid is forced from the master cylinder through the hard line to the slave cylinder. The piston in the slave cylinder is driven against the clutch linkage thereby releasing the clutch.
The clutch master cylinder is in the engine compartment and the slave cylinder for the hydraulic clutch is inside the manual transmission bellhousing

There are two normal causes. The clutch is worn out or there is a leak in the hydraulic clutch slave or master cylinder. To check the clutch, press the clutch slave cylinder down. If the clutch slave cylinder bellows compresses down to the slave cylinder, the clutch is worn out. Check the clutch master cylinder fluid level. if this is low, then the clutch cylinder need to be checked. To check for a hydraulic leak in the clutch slave cylinder, remove the cylinder's bellows and check for any fluid. If fluid is present, rebuild or replace the cylinder and bleed the system. To check the clutch master cylinder, check the back the of clutch master cylinder for leaks. If fluid is present, replace or rebuild clutch master cylinder and bleed the system. In my experience, hydraulic leaks occur at the clutch slave cylinder.
At least the slave cylinder. The clutch master cylinder can be replaced at any time.
If you need to replace the slave cylinder it is located in the bell housing and the trans has to be removed. The clutch master cylinder is located on the firewall on the drivers side
yes it is with the slave cylinder being inside the bee housing. the clutch master cylinder reservior is to the right facing the firewall. it requires brake fluid
In the master cylinder
This sounds like it is the clutch itself, not the master or the slave. If you can put it in gear and it doesn't move, it has to be the clutch worn out. If it were the master or the slave, it would grind when you tried to put it in gear.
