If it's coming from a failed slave cylinder, pumping the clutch pedal will eventually result in dripping brake fluid from the bell housing. I've had that failure, and it does require pulling the transmission. If the rest of the car is in good condition and the clutch is old, most people would replace the clutch at the time of the repair.
If it's a hose, you'll see brake fluid coming from the hose. I've had that failure, too, and it produced a thin stream of fluid from the hose when somebody pumped the clutch. If your puddle of fluid is under the back edge of the engine compartment, I'd suspect the hose. The clutch master cylinder is down by the clutch pedal, and then its line loops up into the engine compartment, transitioning to becoming a hose once it emerges from the firewall. I was able to replace it myself, although I remember it requiring me to be a contortionist, and it's difficult to get the irregularly-shaped line up through its intended pathway.
