Ive realized that my clutch fluid has been leaking lately, so ive had to refill it every now and then in order to be able to shift gears smoothly.
I found that there is fluid dripping down the clutch pedal, and there is fluid on the floormats near the pedals.

What does this mean, and how do i go about fixing it?

Thanks
 
It means that your master cylinder is toast. You're going to have to literally contort your body into a pretzel to get at it. It's a fairly straight forward replacement, but the awkward location makes it a pain.
 
+1 to all of the above, when master cylinders go bad they leak fluid and the floorboard get wet. If its too hard to contort to a pretzel just remove the driver seat, get a good light and go to town on it.
 
+1 for everyone.

Bad DSM Master Cylinders - Turning Mechanics into Contortionists since 1990.

Best way to do it is to pull your drive-side seat, which is only 2 bolts and 2 nuts, lay in the floor, and change it.
