98 Clutch Fluid issue

I have a 98 X-Cab, 4 banger, and have to put fluid in my clutch at least once a month. I have already replaced the clutch plate, flywheel and throwout bearing. There is no visable stain on my drive way. Where is the fluid going and how can I fix this before something BAD happens? HELP!!!

Could be a slowly leaking slave cylinder. Normally the leakage shows up at the bottom of the joint between the engine and bellhousing. It tends to blow back along the transmission case and does not cause visible drips in your driveway.

I'm hopeing that is what it is. Seems to be the easiest to replace for us non-mechanically inclined. Are there any other spots to check if this doesn't work?
