Default help needed (clutch)

ZF6 tranny. I got in the car and pushed the clutch in and had no resistance. It just easily went to the floor. The master cylinder is dry and there is no evidence of fluid leaking around it nor inside of the car. I haven't had time to get underneath of it. It was fine all day sunday. Can anybody point me in the right direction.

The fluid went somewhere, now you have to find out where. Start looking.

Thanks Mr. Goodwrench....I figured that out, but the purpose of my question was to determine other places that could be leaking, besides that master cylinder. I was hoping somebody could give me some good starting points besides the fact that the fluid went somewhere...start looking. Where does the line leaving the bottom side of the master cylinder go?

It runs to the clutch slave. Could be the seal on the end that pushes on the clutch fork. Look for it on the drivers side. It's attached to the bellhousing. Two small bolts hold it on. REmove it. take a look for leaks.

Thanks for the info. As soon as I finish work I am going to jack it up and look for a leak. I already called a parts store and it looks like wednesday before I can get another one.
