2K3 Maxima - Clutch not releasing? WTF?

Okay guys, aside from the oil loss problem.. today while driving i noticed my clutch woudlnt release (pedal would not return all the way up).

So i kick the $hit out of it and it came back up. What the hell causes this problem?

I dont have time to take it to the dealer, so i am going to drive it.. I hope this car blows up.. After 60K km's all hell broke loose!

Slave cylinder issue is most likely. Could also be a problem with pedal linkage. Also maybe a sign that your clutch disc/pressure plate/throwout bearing etc. are getting tired and about to take a dump on you.

That sucks... Since the 60K (kilometers) mark, the following has happened:

1. Brakes (stillen) making huge scraping noises
2. Rethread front left tire (as a result of using Honda bolts) hub bolts
3. Clutch getting stuck
4. BIGGEST ONE - Engine continues to eat 1L / 1000kms

WTF.
