Check if your brake fluid reservoir is low on fluid (or needs topping up regularly) or you can see any fluid leaking out of the bell housing (this would indicate a leaking clutch slave cylinder) which is common on the D5 but will at least give you a clue.
No brake fluid leak. I'll have a look at the bell.
Anyway if I replace clutch I might as well replace dmf. Now I don't know if it's worth it. That would cost me at least £1300 and that's how much I paid for the car a few months ago, and I already spent 1,5k servicing it in only 2 months.

It has 186k miles, don't know much about its history I just know it's been serviced at Volvo until 160k. Now I got that clutch problem and soon injectors are going to fail, they're ticking a lot. Idk if I dump it or fix it...
