Depends on the year of the car but most are hydraulic. You could be looking at a hefty repair bill (300-500) to replace the clutch assembly. The hydraulic cylinder is also the clutch thrust bearing and requires the gearbox to be removed to replace it. For a quick try job you can try bleeding the clutch first but don't expect it to cure it. Book it in & get it checked properly.
