Default Clutch Problem... Help

I'm new to this so I'll try to explain the best I can. I was driving and took a turn pretty hard in second gear, the car slid sideways. I went to shift after I came out of it and the car wouldn't go into gear. The clutch has lost all pressure and there's a leak from the transmission where it meets the clutch when I put in clutch fluid. It drains when I pump the clutch. There was no burning smell or other troubles other than not being able to get it into gear and the clutch feeling loose like there's no pressure. Does anybody know what this could be and how mcuch to fix it? Thanks in advance.

BTW, I have a 1999 T/A...
