It would be worthwhile to check the master cylinder for leakage at the seal before pulling the transmission, but with your description is sounds more pressure plate related. Beware the cost of a replacement dual mass flywheel, it's pricey and not uncommon to need to be replaced.

Right - I believe my mechanic was suggesting to replace it with a single 
mass since the dual mass ones "are a pain" or something like that.

Thanks for the reply...
