Clutch Pedal Stays On Floor After Being Released

This started happening yesterday. Every once and a while My clutch pedel won't return after I depress it. I can slide my foot behind it and pull it back and it will work for a little while (10 mins) and then it will do it again. Oh and while its stuck down the clutch is still engaged. My guess is a bad master or slave?

My brakes did that once. I had to replace the master. After that it was fine.

Bad cylinder imo.

Have you checked the oil level?

Checked the fluid it was fine. No leaks to be found. I think it might be a pin hole leak in the master seal and is balancing out the pressure as it only does it if you hold the clutch down for abt 10 seconds.

I dropped it off at mazda yesterday because its my work car and my company pays for repairs. They are replacing the master and slave. The master is whats causing it and the slave is leaking back also so both are getting replaced. Now I just need to fix my bad pilot bearing.
