Default clutch gets so soft!!

my clutch pedal has lost alot of pressure.. it engages right off of the floor usually but you can pump it back up or sometimes it slowly comes back up.

its full of fluid and no noticable leaks under the car from the master.

what else can i check??

i have the same problem except mines normal until i get on it and then the clutch will heat up and the pedal will stick to the floor or release right on the floor, but after it cools down it feels right again. after researching it seems i have a bad slave cylinder but im changing my whole clutch and everything soon so im just gonna wait.

depends on how many miles on the car.. if its getting up there its a good possibility your hydraulic system is wearing out.. is the fluid clean??

If you pump it and it comes back up, you need to bleed it. Check your fluid to make sure it's clear (clean).

if you haven't replaced your master and slave cylinders, it looks like you are going to be needingt to do this. I had the same problem and I replaced both and now its fine.
