Is the pedal firm, feeling normal? If so then the problem is with the
pressure plate-disk assembly or the pilot bearing is bad causing the input
shaft to drag and keep turning with the engine. If the pedal is soft then
you need to find the leak and then bleed the system. If no leaks try
bleeding the system anyway. If you can't get pressure then the master is
bad. The rear cylinder will always work unless it leaks. If the pedal is
hard as a rock something mechanical happened.

No leaks; reservoir full. Any suspects other than master and/or slave
cylinders, and how do I tell which of the two might be bad?
