Sounds like your clutch slave cylinder or hoses might be leaking. Check it out to see where it is coming from.

My guess is that either your clutch master cylinder, the slave cylinder or the hose is shot. The clear fluid is brake fluid. the clutch system gets it's fluid from the brake master cylinder, but has to be flushed/changed independantly from the brake system. If the same fluid has been in there since new, then expect to change both the slave and the master. If fluid has been changed regularly, then hopefully it is a hose or loose connection. Fairly easy job to do. Get a Bentley's manual. Explains it in detail.
