Clutch fluid problem

My car is a 96 corolla EE100 with a 2E engine. My problem is that the fluid in the reservoir is greatly lessened every time I use the car. I have checked the clutch master near the fire wall and the baby master attached to the engine block and I see no signs of leakage. What could be the problem? Is there any other point in the clutch/transmission system that may have developed a leak that needs to be inspected? There are some oil stains on the garage floor but I still have to trace where it is coming from.

Dear Tony,
You have a small fitting leak coming from your steel tubing going to the slave unit. You'll hardly see the leak, because it leaks only when you press it and while you're driving. Thanx for writing.

PS-Check your clutch pedal, if you smell the fluid inside your car and your carpet is wet with fluid where your left foot is, rest assured your pedal push rod bottomed out and punctured the o-ring seal.
