You might just have air in there? Try bleeding the system. I know that on E36's, those symptoms are usually just air in the lines, or improper bleeding. Or you might have a damaged/torn clutch fluid hose?

Age & big temp changes can swell & crack the seals which causes leaks and/or air intrusion. I'd guess hose first then maybe clutch slave cylinder.

you said it has fluid in there? how are your brakes do they work well? try pumping the clutch and see if it builds up pressure
