While car is jacked up off the ground the front tires spin very slowly while in neutral. Goes away after engine warms up. Also while reving while clutch is pushed in cars rolls forward slightly, and clutch pedal goes farther down. about a half inch. Any ideas??
 
possible small fluid leak? check for leaks at the master cylinder slave cylinder and the lines
 
You're all right, except you're all answering different parts of the question.

That's normal.

I assume the car is in gear when this happens? If so, this is not normal. This shows that your clutch is not releasing completely. Like they said, check for leaks in the clutch line, master and slave cyliners. Check the clutch pedal adjustment. Theres an adjustment rod under the dash.

Huh?
 
Yes my slave cylinder is leaking i have to top off the fluid like every two weeks. That must be the problem, so basically when i have the clutch pushed in its not in all the way. I didnt know that would have something to do with the tires still spinning tho
