Default Clutch pedal just falls to the floor

After I got off work yesterday I was driving home and all seemed fine. I pulled up to my house and went to put it in 1st gear to park and the pedal just fell to the floor. This morning I notice a puddle of fluid behind my front driver tire and Im thinking its brake fluid from the cylinder. Any ideas on what happened. Clutch still just will fall to the floor and not engage.

Looks like you blew the master...

it's not overly difficult to change, just a bit hard to reach and helps to have someone on hand to help guiding the u bolt back in for the new master.

look up the drill mod on how to change around your master. Took me a few hours to do myself.

Ya master is what I was thinking. Is it worth it to get an aftermarket master or replace with a stock?

I have been researching this alot, seems like companies liek McLeod have issues with peddal crash, even on start up, a friend's car has this issue. He is putting a stocker back in. I am keeping my stock and not changing.

I do have questions on the life exp of a stock clutch master, I will post seperately

I'd just get the GM one, fairly reliable, I only replaced my 98 master to the 01/02 master because I wanted updated hydraulics.
