Default Hydraulic Clutch Issue...Help

I have a 69 Camaro with a 2000 Trans Am Ram Air LS1/T-56 six speed and my factory hydraulic clutch is having a problem (16K miles). First off .....there are no leaks of fluid visible, resivior is full and the hydraulic hose has not been dis-connected recently! Problem is sometimes when I hold the clutch pedal fully depressed to the floor for an extended period of time the pedal losses it's adjustment/pressure and the car starts to move with clutch pedal to the floor. If I release the clutch, put trans in neutral and depress the pedal again the pedal feels normal and trans shifts normal. As long as I don't hold the clutch down for extended period of time the hydraulic clutch performs as normal.

I would appreciate any suggestions of what's going on with my hydraulic clutch.....thanks!

You have an internal leak where the fluid is leaking past the piston.
