It's either the master cylinder or the slave cylinder. If one is going out, the other isn't far behind.

Get a NEW master and slave cylinder, not a rebuilt cheapie from the parts store. You can get good ones from j-auto.net

I would also go ahead and replace the stock rubber clutch hose with braided stainless. Banzai Racing has a nice one, or you may be able to source one locally.

Just bought a new OEM clutch master myself after noticing it weeping a little. ~ $85 IIRC. Doesn't look to be a terrible job.
