FOrd fiesta 1.3 LX - Smoke bellowing out of EXHAUST - ford fiesta 1.3 LX

I recently got a new / used ford fiesta 1.3 unleaded petrol car, the clutch pedal occasioanlly gets stuck down and i have to lift it with my foot to change gear, it normally just does this when getting in to first ie at traffic lights, traffic, so i normally get the hand brake up ... anyway, seems to make a few strange noises i can mell burning and the WHITE SMOKE wont stop coming out of the exhaust ... anyone??? i know the AA guy said the hydrolics need a seeing too, and the clutch will be sorted (i think) but suddenly the smoke has started and wont stop ...... really smelly and really embarraaing... i hope i can get this fixed very cheaply if atall..?? please help cheers
