Reading this I want to add an information.
When I engage the clutch I hear some "rotating" sound, till I release
the pedal completely and the car runs. When I push the clutch, I hear
again this clutch plates sound,... and it keeps on even after I completely
pressed the pedal. Then eventually disappear in a while.
 
Does this information, to you all, sound like confirming what Martin
suggested?

I don't notice any brake/clutch fluid leak. Pedal feeling is always the same. 
Could it just be something about adjusting something inthere??
