well lets start off with the problem. occasionally while driving my clutch pedal will drop to the floor completely and i will pull it off the floor in order to use my clutch.... this has only happened a couple times in several thousand miles. however sometimes the clutch will gradually leak fluid...or something i never saw any fluid on the ground, but if i bleed the clutch system it works fine again.

i think it is the master cylinder but the location is very intimidating to get too...

You will need to get under the dash, but if the clutch master is going out you will see fluid coming out around the rod where it comes through the friewall. If that looks fine then I would start to inspect the rubber hoses in the system for cracks or small holes. You could also have a leaky slave cylinder.
 
If your going to replace the master you might as well do the slave as well. I just did it and got both the master and slave for like 80 off ebay, and they work great. No Complaints.
