you need to bleed the clutch system.
Grab a friend for this
You do this by placing a 10mm tube from the slave cylinder , to a DOT3/4 half filled container - make sure the end of the tube remains BELOW the fluid level. Simply undo the slave cylinder nipple , and then proceed to push the clutch pedal in and out and fill the brake fluid reservoir as you do this. Note when there is fluid coming thru the tube on the slave cylinder , and its a steady stream - tighten the slave cylinder nipple and top up the fluid once again. This should be all good - but you need to work out why the fluid leaked in the first place.

Chances are the clutch master cylinder is leaking - look under your clutch pedal for bubbling around the piston , this is brake fluid leaking and corroding the paintwork. Replace if so
