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.

First thing I would do is check the fluid level in the Master Cylinder, and bleed the brakes. Start at RR, then LR, RF, and end up at LF, making sure you keep the Master Cylinder full at all times. If that does not help, replace the Master Cylinder.First thing I would do is check the fluid level in the Master Cylinder, and bleed the brakes.

Check all of the wheel cylinders for any leaks. Check all of the lines for any kinks, then check the master cylinder again for any air. Air in the system may have gotten into the master cylinder and the cylinder may need bleeding again.

Either one or more wheel cylinders are corroded and locked up or the master cylinder is locked up. First thing to do is check the master cylinder. Then check each wheel cylinder. Replace or rebuild any that are corroded or locked up. Replace all the brake fluid in the system. On a vehicle this old, I am sure the brake fluid is contaminated. Also a leaking wheel cylinder will cause a brake to lock up. One other possibility is a collapsed brake hose. Inspect them carefully.
If there is fluid leaking from it in the engine bay in front of your tranny, its bad, also check the master cylinder on the floor board conecting your clutch pedal they can both leak brake fluid. Both are very easy to replace.
