as others said, look for a leak up front.
It could be the slave and that may leak into the area under the slave and pool there and not hit the ground for awhile, but it will!
It could be the flex line from the master to the slave, the portion that is not metal and is nearer the radiator/slave. to check open the hood, add fluid as needed, start the engine, have a helper in the car depress and release the clutch repeatedly (even if it feels funny) and *** DO NOT PUT IN GEAR***. If there is a leak from the flex line you should see it now.
Lastly is the is the master. the master will usually not show a leak, what happens it the fluid will squirt past the seal in the and back front of the piston. Sometimes you can pump the clutch several times and it will get stiffer, feeling like it did when all was well. but if you hold the clutch to the floor it will gradually (and if it happens fast it's not long for the world) act like you were letting the clutch up - when you weren't! The master can be rebuild, access if from the inside of the car at the pedals. I like to take the drivers seat out for better access, but that's cause I like to walk upright the next day!
If it's the master don't fool around, you are living on borrowed time, it will go from marginal to NFW and not come back.
The slave will do so too, and the line will just make a mess and cost you fluid.
