HAD THIS PROBLEM ON A DIESEL MONDEO. Cylinder was a fault but ended up having to replace all clutch including fly wheel. Costly repair at time...
Had similar problem in a 2006 Transit when the pedal would slowly sink to the floor when foot rested lightly over it. Pressure plate replaced but replaced clutch kit at same time as I was paying for the labour anyway. Problem solved.
