One Week Update: Clutch continues to work as expected. Dodged an expensive bullet by avoiding doomsday advice. Affecting the repair in this way makes it much less daunting. Also, to reiterate, keeping one's foot off the clutch pedal in neutral when stopped and as well as in between gear shifts goes a long way in keeping the clutch assembly healthy. Hope this helps.

And now, back to anonymity...*out
The only time your foot should be on the clutch pedal is to change gear! No other time!

Hey guys, I'm looking for some help/advice. To preface, I have a 2017 with 45,000 miles.

First, I noticed fluid dripping behind and down my clutch pedal (see pictures). With the leak, the clutch and everything still worked fine.

I had a shop replace the Master Cylinder, as this is what people online recommended. And they bled and replaced the fluid. The leak is fixed, but now the clutch only comes back up about halfway. Clutch still works, and the car drives, but it feels super weird.
I took it back to the shop they reinspected it. To fix the clutch issue, they are recommending replacing the Clutch master cylinder. But the issue is, I can't find the part anywhere in America.

Why would the clutch pedal start sticking after replacing the Master Cylinder and fixing the leak?
I know this could also be a Slaver Cylinder issue. Is it worth trying to replace the Clutch master cylinder/pedal before committing to the slaver cylinder?
Any advice will be much appreciated.
