So, I've been experiencing intermittent clutch issues lately where I lose clutch pressure and my pedal fails to return or becomes increasingly softer until the clutch is stuck in between engaged and unengaged.

I checked everything over in the bay and went to bleed the slave of air (which I had thought was the issue), well, it turns out there where the Slave Cylinder mates into the bell housing of the transmission, it is leaking. Pictures below (badly). I would clean up the brake fluid and go pump the clutch afew times, the first few times it is usually firm and normal, but pressure is lost over time as it is all vented out of the leak, I go and look back and the bell housing is covered in brake fluid.

I pulled out the line from the master and the o-ring was tore up on the end of the nozzle that plugs into the slave cylinder, I went to the auto store and found a replacement, after replacing it and bleeding the clutch afew times, its good as new. Fun stuff.
