I'll bet the slave cyl went south.

You may or may not have lsot fluid from the resevoir (yet).  Check the boot
around the slave cylinder for dripping fluid.  The slave is fairly simple to
replace, BTW, though there are a few tricks.  (I find a long extension and a
13mm "crow's foot" very helpful in removing the retaining bolts.
