ANyway, yesterday i noticed the oil came bank on the driver side floor mat and under the carpet. I Looked under the dash and it looks like it is coming somewhere from the clutch. the oil pressure cable looks ok.
Both brakes and clutch is working fine and i do not see any leaks under the car. I been reading few other posts and the problem/leak seems to be with the with the brake fluid system which is also connected to the clutch.
Most are suggesting it is the slave clutch cylinder but the leak is under the dash. What part or where can this leak be from. It does seem to be the brake fluid; since it went low, as well.
It is my everyday drive so need to fix it soon as possible.
Thank you.

You are correct, it is not the slave cylinder, that being located on the side of the gearbox.
The clutch master cylinder is located at the top of the clutch pedal, and is supplied with fluid from the brake reservoir. A leak from the clutch master cyl. is not unusual.
