Hey Dude, what's up...
the seal in your hydraulic throwout-bearing is probably bad - if it indeed is an internal vs. external setup. Sounds like it from the responses above. If it's a Tilton Hydraulic setup, I can guarantee it it's that dumb f***in garbage seal that went bad or popped out. It's rare that a line would be leaking. BTW: Check your records to see if it was in any stacks of receipts when you bought the car. It might be a Tilton or a McLeod, or maybe even a Ram hydraulic throwout bearing. I bet it's in your paperwork from the previous owner/installer. If not, call that builder to see what they use.
I ran a hydraulic/internal in the past, and ended up pulling that setup out and going back to the more conventional/external setup that can be serviced on the side of the road - if needed. The internal type hydraulic bearing setups work great, when they are working. And when they fail, it's time to pull the tranny. Southern Automotive or CobraAccessories makes a nice external setup if you want to buy a kit with brackets, lines, etc... Call me or email me if you need help. See Ya.
