try bleeding the clutch

Sounds like you're losing hydraulic pressure. This could be the master cylinder, leaks in the line, or the slave cylinder. Unless you can see a leak, I don't know a good way to figure out whether it's the master or slave other than changing one and seeing if that fixes the problem. Some would suggest that if one goes, the other is typically not far behind, so it makes sense to replace both anyway. Bleeding the slave cylinder would only help if you somehow got air in the system - have you recently changed brake fluid and let the reservoir run dry? On the other hand, it's easy and cheap to do - certainly worth doing before you spring for parts.

There is a good chance it is the slave cylinder. Get a rebuild kit (cheap) and fix it ...... even if it doesn't need fixing

The rubber line between the master and slave cylinder might be leaking.

Well I havent change the fluid. The car only has 58k original miles + engine. So Im guessing since it sat a long time It probably is the slave. The master, from what I can see shows no leaks. I will also check the line from the slave to the master. But it looks ok, so far.

You can also pull the service plates off on the bell housing of the tranny and see what you see. Although if fluid was leaking in there you may have already noticed it and noticed the fluid level decreasing.

Just a thought.
