I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'disclosure' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'fellow if leading english outpost?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'fellow' could be 'man' (fellow can mean a man) and 'man' is found within the answer.
'if' is within the answer.
'english' could be 'e' (abbreviation) and 'e' is found in the answer.
'outpost?' could be 'station' (outpost is a kind of station) and 'station' is located in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
