Default Clutch fluid leaking down pedal?

Not very mechanically inclined but trying to learn. I have an hx coupe that is leaking clutch fluid into the interior of the car at a fairly slow rate. Any ideas as to what I need to replace to fix this?

Oh and semi-long time reader, first time poster.

The clutch master cylinder is leaking. Almost a guarantee.

Look under the driver's side dash, look up to where the clutch pedal meets the cylinder rod. Look for leakage in this area;

You need to replace the clutch master cylinder(small). It's the one next to the brake master cylinder(Bigger)

I recomend gettine an OEM one at the dealership. Don't get used, it will just happen again.

Don't forget to bleed the system once you are done and make sure you clean any fluid spilled. Dot fluid can be very corrosive.

Just a tip because I'm not sure where you live, if you are buy aftermarket there is a canadian spec and a US spec part. They use different sized tube nuts to connect the metal line to the master.
Also reccomend a set of Flare nut wrenches if you don't already have some. They're a must when working with old tube nuts.
