I would suspect the hose. Certainly brake hoses can break up inside and
cause the brakes to stick. Why not the clutch hose as well.

Clutch pedal sticking down
I can't see it being anything in the bellhousing
or the hydraulic hose. The master cylinder and the pedal have return springs,
and normally these would be enough to pull the pedal back even if there is no
return hydraulic pressure. The master seals are designed to pull fluid past
them on the return stroke when there is no return pressure for any reason. I
had a release bearing break some years ago, so no return pressure, the pedal
worked normally (albeit very light) and just a couple of pumps were enough to
push the slave piston out of the end of the cylinder.
I'd be looking at the
pedal pivot, linkage, and master push-rod and piston.
