transmission\clutch problem!!

Hey guys,

i was driving my fto today noted that something felt wrong with my clutch, like it wouldnt come out again. So I turned onto a parking lot and drove around. Again my clutch basically sticked to the end and wouldnt release. so i put my gear into neutral and the clutch game out again. Then I put it into reverse and first gear and noticed the friction point was just a mm in front of the end of the clutch pedal (i just needed to release the clutch a mm and my car stalled). This time I couldnt put my car back in neutral when it was off. The gear was stuck. So i kept stepping onto the clutch until it it released again, so i put the stick into neutral. My father came to help me but everything worked for him :S I just checked the transmission oil and it is just a bit over minimum. ALso my clutch was replaced last year.

I hope someone can help me and tell me where the fault is or what I can do.

Thanks :)

(and sorry if the description didnt make much sense)

Thanks mate, (I'm the one who's gonna do the work). What do you mean by "tedded"? Can it be fixed? Or what new partst would I need? (I'm going to check the other option first, anyway).
What oil is to be used and what will I need to do to change the oil completely (it's likely that it hasn't been changed...maybe never...who knows?) We didn't get a service history with the car, so...???
thanks in advance :)

either slave or master cylinder seals are shot. Can replace them or complete unit and use brake fluid for clutch
