Then the fluid reservoir for the clutch empties because every time you press the pedal, if the CSC is leaking, you're squirting fluid out of the CSC.
Of course your fluid could have gotten hot and boiled a bit, but usually that's indicative of dirty fluid needing cycling/cleaning out.
I think it was the fact that it did boil because after letting the car sit for a few more hours it felt a little tighter. I am going to drive it today and see how it goes. I am not going to drive above 62mph or 100kph the metric folks =) I'll estimate what happens and will comment later today..

Thanks for the feedback and help Z family I appreciate it!

Also for the record, the clutch pedal only stuck once. After that it was fine just super loose. My buddy, who owns a g37, drove my car and noticed it was a tad softer than his clutch on the g.
