Clutch is hydraulic and it's likely either master cylinder or slave cylinder has failed. You will need to inspect slave cylinder (pull boot and check for leakage) and inspect master cylinder for leakage.

good luck

I replaced the master cylinder today and slave cylinder is new. Could it be anything else? Thanks

Yes, system must be bled correctly to remove air. Usually pump/release bleeding will eliminate air. Some pump fluild from slave to master to push air out the way it wants to go,..up.

good luck
