Default Clutch problems. Car in storage. WRX

Hello there I know there's a bunch of clutch related posts but I feel mine is different.

Okay my car is early 95 WRX ej20 with TD05HPretty sure the gearbox and clutch is factory.

Car was driving fine and everything but then I had to put the car into storage and was not driven for like 6 months.

After 6 months I needed to move the car and noticed some issues with the clutch.

It would stick to the floor and would come up if I pressed it a few times. It would be intermittent issue not every time but lots

Clutch would press in and stay there but it would come up if I pushed on it a few times.

I thought it would be the clutch but now I'm reading it could simply be air in the lines or bad master cylinder???

Would the fact the car was not used for months and stored affect the fluid in the clutch lines?

Should I get a professional to bleed the clutch or what do you think I don't want to go out and buy new master or slave if it's not needed?

Thank you sir.

You said you might have air in the lines and when was the last time it was changed

I'm sure there are guides on how to do it yourself.

The fluid is more susceptible to moisture when its left for a period of time, changing the fluid is a good call.

Well sometimes it won't engage to change into gears as well as sticking to the floor.... I think if not the fluid may need new slave or master cylinder...
