Looks like your gunna need a new clutch master cylinder, by the sounds of it the clutch fluid hasn't been changed for a bloody long time.
I'd suggest that the slave cylinder (the other piece in the clutch system) be replaced at the same time.

I'd suggest you talk to Les regards someone to help you maintain you car.(MX52NV)

+1 what Terry said, sounds like youve got a hydraulic leak that you will need to repair, it will also strip the paint if it gets on any so just be aware.
