Fixing leaky hydraulic clutch.

Guys and Gals,
I have almost no mechanical repair experience. But I do like to tinker with things. A while back my clutch stopped working. I looked under the hood and saw that there is a resoirvor for break fluid for my clutch. I saw it was dry so I added some break fluid and it worked for several months. On a trip to Oregon it gave me problems again and had to fill it up again. So now I am sure its a leak. But how do I fix it. I THINK I felt some oily/greasy stuff from the upper part of the clutch petal. So that's where it might be leaking. In anycase I am pretty sure I have a leaky hydraulic cluth.
I've done a couple of searches on here and google and have not found anything on how to do this but mentions of this problem.
Thanks for your help!

Look at you resevior, see the lines coming off? Now follow them, till you find the leak, if you don't than it maybe where you suspect, if it is take it apart and find out why.
