It'll be the clutch master cylinder mate, common on focus's. I recently did mine because of the same.
Look up above the pedal and you'll see when you press the pedal and let go, a small bit of brake fluid drips out.
Took about half hour start to finish to change. Simply job,
I dropped the lower dash panel ( about 6 screws ) and undone the sterring column bolt to pull the cloumn off the rack giving plenty off room.
I ordered this one off e bay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BRAND-NEW-...item2ead0de8c8

Hope that helps, Gary
