It was working perfectly last night when i came home from work but when i started it a few mins ago it would not let me get it out of first. I turn the car off and restarted it and push the clutch in and the clucth was stuck. I fiddle with it and it came a lose but everytime i push it in it would get sticky and it won't let me out of netrual.

My car had a new clutch put in it so could it be my clutch master cynlinder

Ok after futher investigating My clutch is always engage and won't disengage itself. I turn the car off and put it in first and reverse and then turn it back on and the car moves by itself with the clutch all the way down to the floor

Ya, something is wrong with the clutch, could be spring popped out, etc.

Hey I checked where the pedal is at and i think something leaking where the rod goes threw the bushing on the firewall. I place my hand there and my finger was cover in oil. So does this mean my clutch cylinder is leaking and needs to be replace or something else? Also i notice that it is very easy to push the clutch in there is like no resistance what so ever

If you had leakage around your pedal, then your master cylinder has gone bad. The fluid will be gone again soon.

Eh it's okay, at least Don didn't lie to you... His real name coulda been Michelle, then what would the surprise have been.
