Question Clutch leak - Getrad 5 Speed

Hi guys,
So a while back my clutch pedal would not engage and was slack not allowing me to change gear. I topped up the clutch fluid, turned the car on and pumped the clutch pedal. It worked and drove well.
Recently I noticed a small leak - looked like the clutch fluid on my garage floor and the slack clutch pedal again, topped up again, I pumped the car worked, no further leaks.... but on long drives it happens again. Its more and more regular which must indicate a leak of pressure?

Please help does anyone know how this can be fixed or where to look?

Thanks

You've got a master cylinder, a slave cylinder, and a line between them, all of which can spring leaks with age, or from contaminated fluid that hasn't been flushed every couple of years. You'll have to get under the car and figure out where the fluid is coming from.
