Default Need Help, leaking fluid

Ok, so my half of my clutch pedal is dead, clutch is enguaging as soon as i let the clutch out a hair, if even disenguaging at all. However sometimes the clutch works fine, and intermitinly the cluch pedal will go to the floor and ill be creeping forward and the pedal feels dead. I am also leaking fluid, however its leaking from where the tranny meets the engine.

So I was thinking i need a new clutch master, but with the fluid leaking from where it is, could it be my slave? Or both?

I would address the slave first since you are leaking fluid and then test the system. Leaking clutch fluid can catch fire if it gets hot enough because it allows the clutch to slip so much and overheat. Might as well replace the clutch if the slave is leaking in my opinion because they seem like once you get fluid on them and they start slipping, there isnt any helping it out anymore.

Well the clutch isnt slipping at all. Its holding great, thats why i wasnt suspicious of the slave.
