Clutch problems

Looks like the hydraulics in my clutch just went, luckily in my driveway.
Clutch pedal goes to the floor with no exertion needed, I had a look at the
hydraulic pusher on the side of the gearbox (740 GLT with M46 gearbox) It
seems to look like it is too far out and brake fluid is leaking out of the
unit around the rubber gaiter. I would guess the pushrod looking piece is
over extended due to wear on the clutch lever side, but it was getting dark,
and I've had a hell of a day, so I just closed the lid and came inside for a
few beers..... Anyone had experience of this? I do have a parts car parked
up in the drive and it has an M47 gearbox. Would the hydraulic side of
things be swappable? I really do not want to drive my BMW 316 I bought for
£50 for too long. It's much harsher on the bumps LOL.
