Leaking Clutch Fluid

I have noticed that i have been leaking clutch fluid, its emptying the whole container in about a month so its not that serious. I was just wondering why is it doing this. I have heard of problems with bad clutch lines but I don't know if this is it. Has anyone else had this problem?

are you talking about the fluid in your slave cylinder was low, i just discovered mine is leaking too. It just started happening two days ago and I didn't find out untill today I looked at it and it was completly empty. So i put some brake fluid in it and it appears to be back to normal. Im not sure how bad my leak is, apparently it is somewhere in the line I have to find it adventually.
