The clutches aren't a big problem, but the slave cylinders sometimes spew a little fluid onto the clutch. There's a hole with a rubber plug in it on the driver's side of the bell housing. Unless they've moved it. Look at the throwout bearing (where the coiled spring ends and the clutch begins) and have a buddy press the clutch pedal. If you see dripping, or just a lot of fluid redsidue, there's your problem. Check your fluid and see how low it is.
While you're there, have him press and release the clutch several times and make sure it's not hanging up on the return like baddis said. Check your fluid and see how dirty it is. A thorough bleeding might clear it out.
If everything checks out fine, your clutch is probably burnt or worn out. If it ever chatters, it's burnt.
