sounds like the clutch master cylinder
check the fluid level ASAP!
also check the brake fluid level, the leak could be just spreading from the there

Replacing a Defender clutch master cylinder . The price will vary on what make of cylinder you buy.

And this sounds rather bizarre - but if your going to the garage to get it done, get them to change the slave cylinder too.

I ignored this advice (well you would wouldnt you :) ) and sure enough, a week later the slave went.

You got to love em.
