Clutch problem
My car clutch pedal goes really soft extremely soft at that and the friction point moves really close to the floor of the car this problem started yesterday the car was idling in the Grocery store parking lot I was just sitting inside listening to music. I start to drive it after shifting a couple of times the clutch pedal turns to mush.
So this morning a bleed the clutch pedal gets back to normal, drive it for the day feels fine. It sits in my driveway idling for a while I get into drive it Same thing a couple of shifts and it just goes to mush all of a sudden. I come str8 home and when I stop the car I pump the clutch a couple of times smoke starts pouring out of the driver side wheel well.
The funny thing is Clutch isnt slipping it is working normally and all the fluids are fine a matter a fact the clutch fluid is a little over the max just changed the brakes because of a warped rotor and checked that, the pedal goes soft almost to the point U cant drive the car. I think it is a Hydraulic leak falls on something hot on motor, I've read a couple of stories about leaky slave and master cylinders but peoples clutches gradually get soft and there fluid levels are low, my fluid levels are fine so im pretty much stumped

have you checked your fluid level? i would suspect it's probably a slave or master that is in need of a rebuild.
even with the fluid level being full (to where you say it is), have a mate check to see if the clutch fork is being fully engaged. chances are it is not acting as it should, thus causing your problems.
