What year is your Jeep? Engine? Transmission?

I'd guess that it's leaking from the slave cylinder.

It's in the bell housing.

You should notice that the bell housing (Where the transmission bolts to the engine) is wet.

There's your leak.

I'm working on my cmc today and heres a picture of mine. It's running down the push rod onto my fuse box. Something you should look for.

Leaking inside the cab? Clutch master cylinder.

Out of the bell housing? Slave cylinder.

Between the two? Hose.
