Clutch engages by itself at stoplight

[98 Mits GS-T]

I have a 98 Eclipse Gst Spyder. If I am sitting at a long stoplight with the clutch engaged in gear it starts engaging the clutch and tries to move the car but only after sitting for around a minute. I am fairly confident it is the clutch master cylinder bleeding off back into the reservoir but I figured before I started throwing parts at it I would post a thread to see what everyone else said?

you might need to adjust it so it engages higher.
go hereRRE's Clutch And Flywheel Tech Info and scroll down to find out how to adjust.

Until then, putting the car in neutral at a stop will help.

See but the thing is it disengages just fine for about 45 seconds or so but then starts engaging by itself unless I pull it into nuetral first. It also disengages just fine when running through the gears or starting from a stop.

I don't know for sure, but it seems like something in either the master cylinder, or slave cylinder is bad. Or the system has a leak in it somewhere. But don't hold it to me.

The level in the reservoir isn't dropping at all. I think I'm going to have to go with a bad clutch master cylinder.
