DO NOT get an omni MC. They are garbage.
i had a leak discovered because it was ruining my shoes, always the right one, and always in the same spot on the shoe. but it stopped leaking on my shoe, but any chance it could be leaking in another spot? like into the steering or other area?

Right shoe? Florida? Do you drive facing backwards?

Similar problem last week on my '02 with 105k miles. Clutch pedal felt very light for the first half of engagement (zero resistance) and seemed to engage very close to the floor. Drove the car to work and found that there was no resistance in the pedal unless I pumped the pedal a bit. Got to the point where I couldn't put it into gear at the light (regardless of how much I pumped it), so I let it roll down the hill a little, slid it into first, and then kept it in first all the way to work. I'll check the fluid and the cylinder by the pedal for leaks today, but this sounds to me like a clutch master cylinder, correct? Please let me know what you guys think!
