(Yeah, I did search). So I get a call from my sis-in-law up in Harrisburg about her daughter's '05 S60 (manual trans) with 20K miles on it:
"We can smell something electrical burning, there's a leak of a clear oily fluid under the car, and the dealership looked at the car on a lift and says it needs a new clutch, and when she backs out of our drive, the fluid is really running out."
Daughter thought she could make it home to Harrisonburg, Va. Maybe on horseback.

My don't-know-nawthing-about-S60 clutches reply:
"Not sure but it could be that the clutch hydraulic system gaflooied and that's what you smell burning on something hot down there where the Swedish sun doesn't shine."
I KNOW someone here can give me a more informed answer so's I can get me invited to the next Thanksgiving meal in Harrisburg.

Some people are like Slinkies. They're good for absolutely
nothing but a lot of fun to push down the stairs.

Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes.
That way, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

Timing has an awful lot to do with the outcome of a raindance.

Slave cylinder is most likely leaking and burnt out the clutch. Get this fixed under warrenty because the slave cylinder leak took out the clutch.

Thank you, bro. Just as I thought, or at least 85% thought.
