The clutch system has a master cylinder and a slave cylinder. The clutch master cylinder sends pressure to the slave cylinder. Follow the line that runs from the little reservoir and you will find the clutch master cylinder.

As mentioned it could be the slave or master. Take a look under the dash where the cutch rod goes thru the firewall & if you find fluid, the master cylinder is leaking.
