it has to being coming out somewhere. get underneath it real good and check everything out, just because u dont see puddles doesnt mean there isnt a problem

There's a leak check all the clutch fluid lines and the master and slave cylinders. If you see any part is wet/oily then you hit the jackpot! Or you can use your nose too. Because clutch aka brake fluid smells pretty funky. Goodluck!

ok so i think i found the leak, i was checking my clutch peddle and there was fluid coming from the fire wall, so maybe its the pump?
