Check your clutch fluid first if its OK I would check your throw out bearing but if it ain't making noise I bet your fluid is low

Could definitely be related to a failing master cylinder or slave. Usually the slave will leak at the bellhousing of the transmission and the master cylinder sometimes starts leaking at the floorboard inside the cab. Been through a master before and it is not too difficult to replace, just have to burp all of the air back out as there is no bleeder on our systems.
