But that's not the problem since you use the clutch to disengage. With no fluid the clutch would remain engaged at all times.
Are you sure it's in gear? If so sounds like the clutch disk is shot.

does that mean its only a minor replacement? or is it the whole clutch?
It probably wouldn't be a bad idea to replace the tranny at this point in time either. Maybe the piston return springs as well. Shit, you should replace the wheel bearings as they have a direct correlation in the smooth proper function of a good operating clutch.
