100 series clutch problem

Hi everyone, i have a petrol 6 cylinder 100 series and if you rest your foot on clutch pedal it will slowly go towards the floor and if you hold clutch in at lights etc you end up with next to no clutch but let clutch out and you have full clutch again, no oil loss or leaks, any ideas
