Clutch - diagnosis

First I want to say thanks to every one that offered their thoughts on my problem last week.
LAST WEEK-
1990 9kt 125000miles
I drove to work this morning with no problems. Upon return, the clutch pedal goes straight to the floor w/ no resistance, needless to say I have no clutch. I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it but my abs light is on and the brake fluid is a lot lower than I last checked, although it is above the minium line. I breifly inspected underneath the car and it looks like somthings driping from the tranny? any help is greatly appriciated.

DIAGNOSIS
Spoke with the tech, supposedly all cylinders are ok, all lines are ok, he says the car has an accumulator? That will cause air in the lines as well as forcing the fluid out, if the brake pedal is repeatedly pressed while the car is off. This sounds like it could be true to me, being a new Saab owner I was in the habit of pushing in the clutch and brake pedal prior to starting the car. Could this be the culprit? The tech says he bled the lines refiled the resivoir and test drove w/ no visable leaks.
