cars are magic, powered by smoke and liquid

Let the smoke or fluids out, and they stop running. In this case, DOT 3 Brake fluid from the Clutch Master Cylinder. I noticed a pool of liquid at work, but didn't seem to be below the part of my car where it should have been to be the problem, although it was a recent pool.
The leak seems to be from the Release (Slave) Cylinder, as I can see it dripping from there. Towing has it, and it's on its way back to the shop.

UPDATE:
I'd need to go through the trash, but when I cleaned out the car, I swear there was a receipt from the previous owner for a slave cylinder.
