Its because your clutch master cylinder is broken and the seal around the piston shaft is worn out. So the fluid drips down to the pedal. That fluid is the same as brake fluid so I wouldn't let it get on anything that you value such as shoes, carpet, paint, etc...

I'd be 99% sure it's you're clutch master, the only other possibility is a loose line connection that's somehow spraying it back inside. Replace that master.
