It means your clutch master cylinder is failing and you need to replace both it and the slave cylinder (good practice to change the pair).

if the discharge is hydraulic fluid then the master cylinder is on its way out.
Couple of other things to check to be sure
1/ has the level of fluid in the clutch reservoir moved up and become black in colour
2/ does the clutch pedal soften and move down with your foot resting on the clutch pedal?
I had both both sypmtoms and fixed with a new master cylinder from GSF for 46 quid and two hours of my time yesterday.
BTW the Gunson EEzibleed was a godsend for bleeding the hydraulic system.

1987, 2.5engine, pre facelift, chrome bumpers, needs tlc on interior, it runs well, lowered suspension 40mm, non origional low profile alloys, resprayed (its red not pink as in the picture) only out in sun, covered all other times, its not mint, it looks good can go into more detail, but i'm not technical afraid, paid £500 to get thru last mot, just had pads all round changed and rear discs
