Default T56 Clutch Pedal Losing Pressure

Ok first thanks for anyone that can help me. I have a 2001 Z28 M6 and 2 days ago i was driving to work and was in traffic. Out of no where my clutch pedal started to lose pressure. When i pump the pedal i get pressure. but when i start to move its starts to lose it pressure again. If my foot is off the pedal it builds pressure on its own. To give the best ex. when driving at any speed or gear if i put any pressure in the pedal it starts to lose pressure i have to pump the clutch pedal or take my foot off the pedal for about 5 to 10 sec to build pressure up i have no leaks at all. I'm not to hard on the car that much. I'm to old to get all those tickets or run from the cops. the clutch is 10 years old but still grabs good. oh and when i let the pressure build up the car shifts fine and feels normal but after that shift when i have the problems. Any thought?

There is a small restriction in the stock master cylinder braided steel line that can be the cause of the this. The drill mod, as posted above, or buy a new one to fix the problem.
