easy get some dot 4 brake fluid, you pump the clutch peddle, while ben opens the nipple on the slave cylinder, making sure you keep topping up of the fluid.
EDIT: keep doing this till the resoivior has been emptied 1.5 times.

What is the problem with the clutch? Easy to change, i loosen the bleed nipple on the slave cylinder (on the front of the engine block), get someone to pump the pedal and keep filling the resevoir until the fluid coming out of the slave clyinder is clean. Then tighten up the bleed nipple and sorted. Dot 4 clutch/brake fluid. You can get fancy sythetic fluids if you wish

no need for fancy fluids, in the clutch system.
the slave cylinder is on the top of the gearbox at the front of the car, you'll see it when you look. its normally black.
