Default clutch issues Help!

2003 Is300 120K
Clutch is slipping and I am getting a sound when clutch is out and car is in neutral. When I put clutch in sound goes away but not till almost fully depressed. I have also been having an issue where clutch sticks to the floor this only happens 1 every other month or so and it pops back up in like a second. Im hoping that the problem is a bubble in the hydrolic clutch lines and that is causing the issue with the though out bearing making that sound..... Is this probable?

had the problem with the clutch sticking to the floor. i had to use my foot to pull it back up. wound up replacing both the clutch master and slave cylinders

you can try bleeding it to see if that helps. i only changed the slave at first, but when i tried to bleed it, i couldnt build pressure; so wound up replacing the master as well.

That is the bearing making that noise. And sounds like a seeping clutch master cylinder. You might be able see seepage at the top of clutch pedal under the dash. Otherwise you might have to pull cylinder nuts and look behind it for seepage. Unfortunately sounds like its time to do clutch, but do everything. Clutch kit, slave, and clutch master with fresh fluid. Good luck
