Have you checked your master cyclinder? Might need to replace that, and while you're doing that, replace the slave cyclinder

 

Poke your head down under the dash and look at the firewall under the clutch pedal. There is a piston that presses through the firewall. If there's clutch fluid leaking and your firewall is wet, the master cylinder is leaking.
