Default Clutch problem

Hi guys
I've recently just bought 2004 2 ltr diesel X-Type after buying I noticed a judder on the clutch pedal just as I started to push it in,more of a vibration really it didn't affect the gear change and only happened at the top half of the pedal , I assumed it was just a clutch plate problem but wasn't sure. I've driven it for about 100 mile and then whilst driving I put my foot on the clutch to change down gear and the peddle it never came up I managed to keep it in second gear and limp home in second gear without using the clutch and after checking a few bits and bobs I noticed the brake fluid reservoir was virtually empty I'm not too sure if the clutch is gone the master cylinder has gone or what's gone any you guys can give me a hand thanks

Broken line or failed seals in master or slave cylinder would account for the fluid loss. A diagram of the layout may help:

My bet is the slave cylinder in the transmission and it's not fun...
