you sure it's the clutch? Not really common for a clutch to leak. Usually a leak in that area is a ream main seal issue

I had the same problem about a month ago. It was the slave cylinder. I had to remove the tranny and everything else that was in the way to replace it. The part is around $45 at autozone. it's time consuming but cheaper than paying $600 fir a shop to do it.
