Ok, I have a weird problem...

I start up my car. It drives relatively normal for the first 10 minutes. After that, the clutch will start fading out till it just falls to the floor. Eventually, I have to sit in the middle of the road for a minute or so, then I can put the clutch down and jam it into gear, and it works relatively fine while I'm driving. I checked the oil, and it was pretty low, so I filled it up, and I still have the same problem. I would think that it could just be one of the clutch cylinders going out, but the fact that I can shut the car off, wait a while, and everything starts working again is definitely weird. Also, I haven't changed anything on the clutch since I bought it, and it drove relatively fine until then. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Chris.
 
You should find where your oil went off too its leaking somewhere it didnt dissapear. your rear main seal could be leaking onto the clutch. have it checked....do it
