Hey,
So I was driving my car tonight and I was parked for an hour and then I started driving again. 10 minutes into my drive, my clutch pedal became really loose and could be pushed down really easy for the first half way through the motion. It felt like there was a couple inches of freeplay all of a sudden.
Could I just need to add clutch fluid or has anyone else had this problem before?
Any thoughts, suggestions, or diagnoses are greatly appreciated.

Bleed the clutch and add fluid as needed after bleeding. Sounds like a couple possibilties. Either air in the lines or low on fluid. Either way I would bleed it. Try this and let us know!
 
If bleeding isn't the problem, check your master and slave cylinder. Check the slave cylinder for any kind of leaks, pull the boot back and let us know.
