NO! It is not expensive, nor is it difficult. The leak will not go away by itself, and it will leave a trail (they even make UV dye to put in brake fluid for ease of viewing under a black light). The leak has to be at the connection to the reservoir, at the brake or clutch master cylinders, at the clutch slave cylinder, or at the calipers themselves. Now if you had the three separate reservoirs, you'd know whether it was the clutch, front brakes or the rear brakes that were the source -- but this is not a tough job. Just look for a wet spot and you will have found it (check for drips on the garage floor too).
