Its Most likely time to change the ckutch slave cylinder.. sounds like it blew out and is leaking internally or externally so time for a new one theyre pretty cheap and are usualually pretty easy to change good luck hope this helps

All shop are a little different on prices also some mark up the price of parts alot others not so much some try to save you money and some charge way to much so"..its Depending on where you live the shop rates are a bit different in each area..id say call around to the shops nearest you and ask what there shop rate is and how much time they'd charge for that job and what the parts cost thats the best way ti figure out what it's gonna cost befor you evan get there ..good luck hope this helps
