Is it a separate reservoir or part of the brake reservoir? Why is the fluid low? Leak or something else? Is there a leak on the floor is the back of the clutch pedal wet?

@lynx it's part of the brake reservoir. I don't actually think the fluid was low; it was just hard to read. Back of the clutch pedal wasn't wet this morning but I'll check again next time I drive it
@Ordinata that sounds like an unmitigated nightmare. If the repair was above a few hundred quid it wouldn't be worth me doing

My (cheap) golf's clutch has a very normal bite and doesn't appear to be worn (comparing it to having driven a worn out clutch in a yaris once). Last few days however, it has been sticking and causing me to stall unless I gave it loads of revs. Even then it still stalled sometimes. It is fine changing through the rest of the gears.
I had to get home today from my mate's house and the 90 minute drive was so sketchy, with me attempting not to come to a stop. When I really really had to (before I was leaving a large gap and gradually approaching queues in second), I gave it enough revs to not stall.
At home, I stuck some dot 4 in and it needed not very much at all to be full so I ended up putting too much in. Really couldn't see the max/min of the reservoir so assumed it was really low. I'll take it for a quick spin later to see if that has helped.
What does this sound like? Online suggests: Failed clutch release bearing, Failed slave cylinder, Failed clutch master cylinder, Broken clutch linkage
Any help would be much appreciated please (slightly long paragraph i know - apologies :( )
