If it's the pedal, the cause would be wear on the metal where the pedal is pinned to the master cylinder piston. If you stick your head down there and look (might need to remove knee bolster), you would see an oblong hole in the clutch pedal rather than a circular hole. If it's the master cylinder, it would likely be leaky seals, though it could also be the return spring inside the cylinder (I replaced one of these springs myself a few months back). Taking the cylinder out isn't extremely difficult, but you will have to bleed the clutch when you are done. John
