The purpose of a clutch on a vehicle is to disconnect the drive of the engine from the gearbox (this would be required when the vehicle is stationary or to change gear).
While the engine is running the crankshaft is continually turning, It is the crankshaft that turns the gearbox and via the gearbox the road wheels. Obviously there are times when the engine is running but drive is not required,
The clutch is the mechanism by which this is achieved.
A clutch pressure plate is used to clamp the disc to the flywheel and transfers the power to the transmission.

what is the job of a one-way clutch
Unless someone has done a custom hydraulic clutch setup on this vehicle- there is no clutch fluid. It is a cable clutch linkage on a stock vehicle. If it has been customized there will be a easily identifiable reservoir connected to the clutch pedal or connected to the clutch master cylinder by a hose.

Clutch disc is worn out. Not knowing what vehicle you have, most are hydraulically operated and there is no adjustment. Time for clutch replacement.
