Default clutch pedal acting up

Waking up in the morning and getting in my car to goto the drag strip of all days because I have never been to one and I was very excited, I noticed that my clutch pedal when pushing it down to the floor and releasing it, it comes half way and then sticks and then pops back up. I instantly thought master or slave, leaking or that the line has air in it.

The reservoir is full so, the first thing I thought about doing was bleeding but the way the clutch pedal sticks half way and then pops back up seems weird so before I do all this bleeding and checking master and slave I was wondering if anyone had other ideas on what is causing that to happen specifically, also forgot to mention the clutch pressure did get low, clutch does not want to disengage until pedal is on the floor when it use to engage at the top so that also tells me to bleed and check master and slave.

Yeah sounds like there might be air in the system or the master is on its way out.

Well today i decided to blead my clutch finally, after free time from work and school. I went down and I told my friend to pump the clutch, after that i opended the bleeder valve and a very tiny amount of fluid came out...

after two more times of doing that above, NOTHING at all came out, so i just decided to take the bleeder valve all the way out and press the clutch in and out ( which by the way lost all its pressure the first time i opended the bleeder ), NOTHING comes out, it sounds like Im trying to pump something out of a empty container that only had drops of fluid in it.

Weird thing is, my brake fluid was not empty at all but there is no fluid in the line at all... so is this the master messing up?

You dont want to push the clutch pedal in/out with the bleeder valve out since that will allow you to suck air back into the slave cylinder.

If nothing is coming out you most likely have a bad master. You could pop off the clutch line off of the slave and see if fluid comes out if it.
