I installed a new clutch install went fine and i started to break it in boost turned down and after about 160 miles of driving i was cruising down the high way at about 60mph and the clutch stopped engaging. its like the clutch is stuck i can shift with the car running with out the clutch pushed in no grinding nothing car doesn't move at all and is seems that my clutch pedal loses pressure over time and i have to pump it a few times before it comes off the floor and even then it feels like it need to be bleed, i have bleed it many times though. the car made no noise when it stopped nor when i push the clutch pedal it just stopped just like i pushed the clutch in cruising at 60 the rpms started to climb and the car stoped moving i am clueless any help is very appreciated.

Edit* sorry for misspelling title i cant change it
 
Check the clutch fluid reservoir and see at what level it is filled. When was the last time the master and slave cylinders where replaced? Is there oil leaking into the car (near the clutch pedal)?
 
i just went out and looked and yes there is brake fluid leaking into the car from around the clutch pedal i assume this means that the master cylinder is shot. could this also be the problem with the clutch not engaging. thanks for the help.
