Default clutch fluid leaking

any one have an idea or the first spot I should check when clutch fluid is leaking ?

I have an after mark slave cylinder installed about year and half ago , and now when I drive or not drive the clutch pedal will stay on the ground and not come up if I push the pedal in and hold it down it cause the fluid to leak and I don't know where yet I fill it up and it takes about 30 sec of holding the pedal down for the fluid to show below the low mark where you fill the clutch fluid up,

if it leaks from the master , where would I look ?
if it's the slave, do I need to pull the tranny off ? (witch would suck lol)

Look at the bottom of the clutch master itself to see if the plastic base is cracked (unlikely) or the rubber line itself is split. If there's no apparent leaks around the clutch master itself, the next place would be to check all the clutch lines leading down to the bellhousing. Depending on whether you have a DE or HR, you can check the slave cylinder next. If there's leakage from the front base of the bellhousing, the only choice is to pull the tranny.

Since you have an HR, check the area directly underneath the front of the bellhousing. If you find brake fluid leaking from the flange onto the garage floor, you'll know it's the CSC and will have to pull the tranny.
