Default Leaking master cylinder?

I am getting brake/clutch fluid dripping into the foot well when I press the clutch pedal. I haven't taken anything apart yet and was wondering what was most likely causing this? Your thoughts please.

Clutch master cylinder more than likely. I recommend getting a slave cylinder and new hose and blue feed line while you have it all apart... dont forget a motive power bleeder...

Im in the middle of all this myself (havent actually started on it, but is the primary reason why I took it off of the road and started all the other maintenance)

Slave cylinder is new this past summer. The line did look dry rotted when I reinstalled. I didn't replace anything on the master cylinder side.

Yep, that's what happens, you should replace them in pairs.
