[urq] Clutch pedal sticking

hey all.  this happened a while ago.  I've parked the UrQ for a few months 
cause i ended up getting a motorcycle and have been having WAAAAAY too much 
fun with it (1991 Honda VFR 750) to be motivated to register and repair the 
UrQ yet (especially since all of my money went in to buying the two wheeled 
beast.

So, it really happened bad during the winter months, but slowly i noticed 
that the clutch pedal wouldnt come back up all the way.  The engagement of 
the clutch was solid as always, and no slippage was present in the slightest.

Once things started to get really wet though, i noticed that the clutch 
pedal only came back up, MAYBE, 1/2 way.  Fortunately, the clutch would 
engage high in the travel so i only needed it to move a little bit to 
work.  But now it is at the point where the clutch pedal wont return at 
all, and there is no apparent movement of hydraulic fluid when pushing on 
the clutch pedal since it just stays all the way down on the floor.

Now, question... is this most likely: 1. air in the clutch line (possible 
since there are some small cracks in the line from the fluid reservoir to 
the clutch - i have a seperate reservoir due to the dual MC brake system). 
2. bad master cylinder.  3. bad slave cylinder.

If 1, what is the best way to proceed, beyond replacing the hydraulic lines 
involved...

thanks in advance everyone. :)
