Is that coolant or hydraulic fluid?  I can't quite work out where you are, but I guess the clutch slave cylinder won't be too far away.....

 

Mine started leaking - it turned out to the flared end of the hydraulic pipe (changed the slave first, and then had to change the rigid pipe after)

I'm not sure the reason I thought it was coolant was cos it's a pink colour like the coolant it's near enough on the passenger side of the car but you could be right about hydraulic fluid cos it's right by the gearbox to be honest I've no idea :-(

Looks like coolant to me check the coolant housing on the right side of the engine where the temp sensor goes might be the seal for the temp sensor or the housing itself quite common on these, hope this helps?

Had the same issue, coolant was leaking from this housing on the gearbox and the it dripped underneath.

Yeah pretty sure that's where it's coming from did you just replace the housing ? And how much did it cost if you don't mind me asking?

So just been out and cleaned all the grease and dirt off the engine and soaked up the coolant puddle up should be easy to see where it's leaking from hopefully :-)
