Weeping clutch master cylinder

I pulled up the wet d/side rug to check out the floor and found the clutch M/C is leaking.
The rubber boot that covers the rod on the top is torn and the fluid seems to be coming from that end.
Does this mean that the M/C is NG or that it just needs a new rubber boot to contain things?
The rear brake M/C reservoir was low on fluid when I got the car and the ebrake warning light stayed on.
I refilled the M/C and the light went out but I now see that this leak is the reason for the low fluid level.
Clutch operates with no gear grinding but I suppose that M/C should be dealt with.
Is it repairable or should it be replaced?
What kind of a job is it?
