yes can happen, the fluid can leak past the plunger but not necesarily onto the floor, had this on my Chrokee jeep awhile ago. it can drain back into the cylinder once the pedel is depressed :cry: no not that type of depression.

note. worth bleeding the system first air in the system can cause same symptoms.

note if changing your master/slave cylinders do not solve your problem then you need to inspect your input shaft and clutch splines (gearbox out i am afraid), but this is unlikely!!
