There is a master cylinder that creates pressure when you push on the pedal,the slave cylinder moves to dis engage the clutch when it receives adequate pressure! It is a hydraulic system so if there is a leak in either cylinder or line it lets air in the system which doesn't build enough pressure to operate correctly. Look or leaks around your brake/clutch pedal area and on the drivers side area where the engine and transmission meet or any other mysterious leak of brake fluid and you may find your issue.

Going to look into that slave cylinder problem now. Hope it doesn't need a new clutch... is that what a master cylinder is or is that different too? What's bleeding? Like draining from somewhere? Geez... thanks for helping this beginner out.
