Although it is not the cure for your specific problem, you need to change your clutch fluid. The fluid same as brake fluid will absorb moisture over time. Next, is rusting in the cylinder bores and eventual seal failure.
I neglected mine for years and paid the price when the master failed with no warning. Flushing is easy with a brake bleeder. I now change the fluid out annually.
