the brake hydraulics and clutch hydraulic are two separate systems. So who knows? take a look under the jeep and see if you see brake fluid everywhere.

if the clutch master cylinder shares a reservoir with the brakes then chances are you have a hole in one of the systems. refill the reservoir have someone step down on the pedal while you crawl around and find the leak. repair said leak refill bleed test and report. however if it doesn't share a reservoir you need to repeat steps listed above.

They DON'T share reservoirs.

Must be those brake fluid sucking rodents. They've gone away from wire insulation and are concentrating on hydraulic hoses now. Weird mutation, I guess. Al Gore says it's because of global warming and Obama says it's cuz we don't have a debt ceiling limit in place yet. I'm worried that the next mutation may involve rodents eating EBT cards. Heavens to Mergatroid!!!!
